Hi all! I've been lurking on this board for acouple weeks now and so far its been a big help. I had my very first dental appointment in 15 years last week! Lots of work to be done! I have surgery on Jan 4 to have 6 teeth out. 3 of them are completely impacted wisdom teeth and the other 3 are decayed teeth that need to be cut out!
Tomorrow I am having a filling in my front upper tooth and I am terrified. I have never had a filling. I told the dentist last week that I am frightened of needles, particularly in my mouth. What is really scaring me is that I am told that injections in the roof of your mouth really hurt. The dentist said he would use the numbing gel. WIll the numbing gel be very effective on an area as sensitive as the roof of your mouth?
I need a total of 9 fillings, all in my upper front teeth. The dentist is just doing 1 or 2 tomorrow to start out with something small. I know I will not sleep tonight!
I will probably post tomorrow about how it all went. This time tomorrow it will be done and I'll be soooo relieved!
