I am due to have two upper front teeh pulled tomorrow at 2:30 and then two dental implants placed immeidately along with a small bone graft. I had an implant years ago and can't remember it much.
I have always been hard to get numb since a child and have had a few dentists tell me I was "wired" diffently than most people. Some of them worked wtih me till the got me numb & some got so frustrated trying to get me numb, I was crying in the chair for inconviencing THEM. Talk about adding insult to injury! Never went back the those guys.
This oral surgeon is patient & Nice, but doesn't seem to have the touch with the needle. Some dentists I had I barely feel the needle, but this guy has NO talent with it, sorry to say. The last bottom one he pulled, he actually gave me a shot UNDER MY TOUNGE! I've had dental problems, root canals, implant, million cavities since 6 years old and never had a shot UNDER the tough. (I'm 42) I will never take that again, put me all the way out for bottom teeth!!
Anyway he will use IV sedation on me tomorrow. Has anyone had a major dental procedure under this? The IV doesn't scare me a bit, I just keep hearing you don't remember what happened, but I want to make sure I don't FEEL what IS happening at the moment. Any experience with this? Thanks so, so. much.
