Hi, I had a injection 2 days ago for root canal treatment. I'm always terrified when I go to the dentist and it takes all my strength to actually enter the building let alone sit in the chair lol. Its good to hear that other people also experience the shaky feeling after injection. About 5 mins after the injection i started shaking and my heart was racing!! Mid way through the root canal, which I would say was maybe 15-20 mins I had to go for x-ray and omg, I couldn't stop shaking, not pleasant to say the least. Also during the procedure I felt sick and like i was going to pass out. I tried to concentrate on my breathing and put it to the back of my mind but I did it. I have suffered with anxiety and panic attacks and at one point panic attacks controlled my life, was scared of doing everything through fear of having a panic attack and the dentist is one of my biggest phobia's anyway. So all these symptoms I experienced during the procedure I put down to my mind playing tricks and battle my way through the treatment. I put off going to the dentist during the years I had severe anxiety and panic and now i'm suffering for it, loads of fillings etc to do but if i'd of gone in the first place maybe it wouldn't of been so bad
Oh and as soon as I get out of dentist all the symptoms pass. I never mentioned to my dentist all the feeling I had but I have the most none understanding dentist that doesn't care if your scared, just get the job done
Maybe its time to find a new one but not easy on NHS now a days and can't afford private
