I just joined to vent about this..
I had some anxiety about going to the dentist. I'm in my 30's and had some major work done as a teenager but never as an adult. I went in to have two top wisdoms extracted (one has a massive cavity though it doesn't really hurt) and some cavities filled.
The dentist gives me shots. My face goes numb and my eye droops, but I notice I can still feel my gums and tongue. He comes back in, I lay back, he starts to drill.
IT HURT LIKE DAGGERS OF ICE IN MY MOUTH. It was terrible! I told him it hurt. He said it was unusual, and numbed me up some more. I waited.
He came back, drilled again. It hurt even worse than the first time! I was crying out. Suffice to say, we agreed there would be no tooth extractions that day.
He wants me to go under general to have it done, but given that general is very dangerous I don't know what to do anymore. I'm really stressed about this. My mouth is in absolute agony from the fillings (my cavities were tiny and didn't hurt before) and the numbess is only just starting to wear off. My freaking nose is paralyzed. I hate this.
