My dentist is awesome and I wouldn't trade her for anything but I have read about many things on the web and this forum and thought "WOW! I wish my dentist had that!" .
So in light of the season, this is my dental wish list:
1) The Dental Button-although the stop signal is satisfactory, I still want it!
2) The Wand-although she always gives painless injections and I really don't have an issue with them, I think it would just help me mentally.
3) A therapy dog-why you may ask? I think the real question is why not?! (Thanks to Mikey Boy for inspiring me to start this thread! )
Things I'd like to try/explore:
1) Laser dentistry (WITH local anesthetic)-I have read over and over that it doesn't require local but I'm very skeptical and not having it would only increase my anxiety. Anything to cut down on drilling is anything worth trying in my book.
2) Laughing gas-my dentist doesn't offer it which is a little surprising to me. I'm not a fan of sedation but I think it would help me quite a bit with taking the edge off especially at the beginning of procedure appointments when I'm most anxious. I had this once when I was 3 but don't recall much about the experience...so perhaps it did it's job?!
That's all that I can think of for now. What's your wish list?
