Off to the dentist
 

Anyone have any sedatives?


-shivers- I really hate going to the dentist. Really, really, really hate it. However, I had some tooth pain yesterday, and doped myself up for bed, and even with a sleeping pill, I was up at 3:30 again, with bad pain. Haven't been back to bed, and my jaw is very visably swollen. My whole lower jaw area on the left side of my face is puffy. :(


Ok, so seriously, anyone got a sedative?

EEEP!


10 more minutes till DEATH!


or at the very least, a lecture, and pain.

I know just what you mean - still once the hard bit is over you should, hopefully, feel better.

I hope evrything goes well for you.
I had to go the dentist last week when I had a filling break out of a tooth. At least the gas was fun! But I wish they had left it on me until after they gave me the bill!

Ugh! Damn them! I get myself all psyched out, and in the chair, and they tell me I need antibiotics before they can work on it! I have to wait until next wenseday now! My face looks like someone slugged me right across my jaw.

I have many bottles of Pain Pills,that you can have!Unfortunately,
the newest is at least two yrs outdated!Suggestion:When I still
drank,my dentist,in Conn.,was upstairs from a bar.I never took novocaine,so he would say to me-"This is going to take alot of work!You better go downstairs & have a couple more shots"It
doesn't kill the pain but you don't care! Irish

Gilly, I totally feel for you :( That sucks that your tooth's infected, though sitting through the dentist will be much less painful if the infection's gone first, trust me!

I avoid the dentist until the last minute, too...it's horrible. I've got a cavity now that'll need to be looked at soon and I just keep putting it off. Last time I was there, they pulled a tooth, and the dental assistant had to leave because I was freaking her out with my hysterics, lol.

Watch those sedatives. And watch those dentists too. My ex had some work done and was given a pill that made her extremely drowsy. She woke up to find the doc fingering her. Nice guy, huh?

Holy shit^^ Did she report him? File charges?

Ugh, Denny! That sounds horrible! My dentist is a woman, as are all the hygenists that I've seen there.

Irish- Yeah, shots would help, but give me novacaine any day. I can't do the gas. When I was about 5 or 6, and went to the dentist for the first few times, they didn't realize that I couldn't breath through my nose very good, so the gas wasn't being drawn into my body. I went through 3 pretty wretched, slightly numbed cavity fillings, being mostly unable to breath, which has lead to a rather healthy dose of being scared to death of going to the dentist.

After she does a root canal next week, she's going to put a crown on the tooth, to stop it from decaying further. I was surprised, there's very little root damage.

Let's just say that I had a little talk with him.

Why don’t you get some of the stuff that Steph is using?:rolleyes: A visit to the dentist can’t be too bad for her. She goes every week just to get her teeth SHARPENED :eek:

Well, the good news is.... oh, fuck it, there is no good news. My damn jaw is puffed up just as badly, and it's bruising now. :mad:

You'd be surprised, most of that pain is probably from the infection and not from the tooth itself. Give the medicine a day or two and you'll be fealing much better. I hate dentists because I always need so much done and they never seem to understand I can't afford to get it all done at once! But the actual dental work doesn't bother me too bad. I've had some horrible military dentists though! Lol But now that my husband's out of the Army I'd kill for free dental.:o :D
