Threemoons Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Aw, teeth pain... Sorry you're going through this one, Jelly. It's true dentists do care more now than back in time, they use analgesics and all the stuff against pain now. Be brave, it will only last some minutes and then you will be free to leave. I know it's easier to say than to do. I send you hugs and strength, dear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lily-Bee Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 I fear the dentist too,last year had a tooth ache and needed a root canal.The dentist was super nice plus I made sure I got anaesthetic, I didn't feel a thing! I am no longer scared......... I hope my lil story gives you a bit of faith... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jelly-bean Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 well i went what a drama .... went in and had two people in front of me started to feel really hot and needed to lean on something next thing my troat totally closed and I couldnt breath ... i gasped please can i have a paper bag and started swaying .... i were grabed and walked to an off room where they gave me oxigen .... omg... how embarrassing, also gave me an inhaler which helped open my airways it was like my troat had gone on lock down they said the dentist wouldn't see me in this state ..... i told them that this as good as it gets with me i didnt want to have treatment just meds for abcess which yeah i got one big one not due to a tooth but cos when i had tooth out they left the nerve in ...... great means at some point i have to get that removed ...... so i wasnt that brave as id liked to have been thank you all for reading my hell time at the dentist .... and giving me support ....x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artemis84 Posted April 12, 2013 Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 Wow, what a day! I'm sorry it turned out to be as traumatic as you feared it might but it sounds like they were well practised at dealing with such things so I'm sure you're not the first one to react like that there! Good on you for forcing yourself to go, that is a huge achievement - and hopefully one that will have you feeling pain free very soon!
