Hi all,
I've just been to the dentist to have a tooth extracted.....I had four that needed to be removed.....I was nervous but proud of how well I done with getting the injections....especially the dreaded one in the roof of my mouth which to be honest weren't as bad as I thought it would be....so dentist did the checks to see if I was numb and then we were good to go, all was good at first but then I felt alot of pain my dentist was great he stopped and gave me another shot....that was were it all started to go wrong. After alot of breaks and more shots then I care to remember finally that blasted tooth was out, dentist gave me the choice to leave it there or to try for the other teeth, I was feeling rather brave and thought best get it over and done with so told him it was worth a try. I once again needed more numbing stuff but I still felt an incredible amount of pain and had to ask him to stop. Im so happy that I have an amazing dentist he reassured with everything and has said there are other ways to help get me numb next time but didn't say how (probably because I was in tears and rushing to the door) could anyone tell me what these other methods could be? And does anyone have any idea why someone doesn't get fully numb?
I'm terrified of going back now, it's a rather disheartening as I was shaky but in a relatively happy mood today joking with my dentist and now I'm gonna have to start again
Thanks in advance xx
