Hi I need a tooth taken out tomorrow upper l7 and I am scared of the local anaesthetic, I’m scared of having a reaction to it my heart pounds and I sometimes shake.. someone please help me ?
 
Hi Natalie, dentists are very well trained to act in emergencies, if anything would happen. Local anesthetic is very safe and gets used for all procedures. I am sure you will be fine. Remember that you having anxiety doesn't mean that your worries are likely to come true. Also make sure to talk to your dentist about this before you start so that he/she can put you at ease. You will be fine :XXLhug:
