Hello,
I'm sorry to announce that my fears got the better of me. I spent the last week anxious about my Iv sedation extraction, barely slept last night and when I got in the dentist's chair and saw the anaesthetist preparing his needle I freaked out. The dentist and anaesthetist spent half an hour trying to coax me to do one step at a time. I signed the consent form but couldn't bear the Iv needle going anywhere near me.
I had the other wisdom tooth out just fine but I tried to have this one out last year and the inside the mouth injection made me dry heave. The most awful experience - hence why I opted for sedation. Unfortunately my phobia of needles into veins got me. I then asked the dentist to try just local instead but at this point I was shaking and crying me eyes out and he made the decision to stop.
I feel absolutely pathetic. I think this wisdom tooth is the cause of my bite problems which give me terrible ear popping at night. This is far more than just a tooth extraction to me. My life has been wrecked by my dental problems but I'm so scared of things getting worse that things can't get better.
