going tomorrow, I'm a wreck!

[BigOzz]

Hello folks, have a visit tomorrow and planned extraction of a wisdom tooth in local anesthesia. I am absolutely horrified of the numbing feeling after the shot. I have a history of astma, but no medicine or dental visit related attacks. I am always worried I'll suffocate so much that I have avoided the dentist as much as I could for the past few years, now I have two teeth needing attention, one of which, a wisdom tooth needs pulling. I simply cannot chew, I know I can't avoide it any longer but I am paralyzed with fear. It's like going to the electric chair! I chickend out once already HELP!

Have no Fear....If you have a good, supportive, and compassionate Dentist he should help calm your fears and and maybe it would help if you had a friend or loved one to go along with you for support....Just remember if those teeth need to come out and you can't chew , then try and think Positive of the benefits of getting bad teeth taken care of...Hope this helps !!
