dentist trouble with numbing injections--- do you get this?
Question:
does anyone else have a high tolerance like this? im starting to dread the dentist because i know these injections have trouble working on me.
why does it do this and can i ask to be put to sleep in future?
Answers:
I had 3 fillings yesterday and was in the chair a whole hour waiting for the numbing and after about 7 injections I was shaking cos of the pain. I know you can have anaesthetic if you have a tooth out, but I'm not sure about fillings. But I sympathise with you about the pain and dread!!!
I do. I sometimes take two or three injections to get numb. The nice thing is I'm partially numb already, so I don't feel them as much. The numbing shots are the worst part of the dental experience for me.
You can ask to be knocked out, but it's very dangerous and expensive. They normally don't do it for general dentistry, just extractions. You can also ask for nitrous, which is *very* relaxing and not as expensive.
Hi - I had a similar problem a few months ago. Basically there are two nerves in your mouth - the main one, which is numbed by and injection under your tongue, and another one which needs to injected on the outside of your gums - near your cheek. Make sure the dentist injects both of these nerves and you shouldn't feel a thing!
