I had to have all my teeth pulled except for 4 on the lower front. And that just happend today.
A little about me. I am a neddle and med phobe. Even taking asprin freaks me out, but i am in the military and the dental work needed to be done. It has been 2 months sense they told me exactly what they were going to do. I used that time to read everything about IV therepy that I could get my hands on. That really calmend me down. Yesterday I called the doc and asked him for something I could take before the appointiment. He gave me a 1 mg ativan. That really did help i was nervouse, but not scared or worried.
As soon as I sat in the chair they put oxygen on me. 2 minutes after that the IV was in and i remember telling the doc that i felt the meds hit. After that was a blur. An hour went by in seconds.
I think i am no longer a med phob. Now i definitly do not have a fear of the dentist.
And a shout out to this site. I didnt post much but the information on here helped a lot. I also gave the address to my dentist so he can share it with others. Thanks again friends.
