I have pretty severe dental anxiety. I’ve always gone to the dentist despite this, but I am an absolute wreck for at least a week before the appointment and can’t even eat. Each time, I have lost five pounds. I read about sedation dentistry for people like me but it sounds like it is only […]
Will My Daughter Need Anesthesia for These Wisdom Teeth
My daughter is 19 and has never had surgery before. She needs to have some impacted wisdom teeth removed. I’m terrified of anesthesia and wondered if it would be necessary. Our dentist suggested a local anesthetic would not be enough. Is there something in between that would work? I don’t want to put her in […]
My Teeth are a Mess and I’m Scared
I grew up in a family that did not have much money. I’d only been to the dentist once in my life as a child and that was for a root canal treatment on a front tooth because of an infection. We didn’t have enough money for the crown so my tooth was left with […]
Burning Mouth Syndrome or a Zirconia Allergy?
I had two zirconia crowns placed. Since then I have had some complications, specifically with a burning throat and a dry tongue. I worried I had an allergy to zirconia but my dentist insists there are no allergies to zirconia. Since then I have been to see two different ENTs. The first one only ruled […]
Dentist or Oral Sugeon for Extractions
I’ve never been great with the dentist. I had a root canal treatment done some time ago, that never received its crown. They never scheduled a follow-up appointment and I didn’t fancy reminding them. That was probably a coward’s way out and a mistake because eventually, the tooth started crumbling and then developed an infection. […]
Scared to Have My Crown Looked At
I had a root canal treatment a little over a year ago and then a dental crown placed. It was a horrible experience. I kept telling the dentist the numbing medicine wasn’t working but he just plowed on. The tooth was fine for a while. Lately, though, it feels weird. I’m guessing I should probably […]
Over Ten Shots to Get Numb
I don’t know what to do. I went in for a tooth extraction. I was nervous enough going in, but things went from bad to worse when it took an overabundance of shots to get me numb. I stopped counting at ten and could do nothing but cry. Now, It has been over five days […]
Can’t Get Numb at Dentists
I need some help. I cannot get numb at the dentist no matter how many shots I’m given. I don’t have a reaction to it either positive or negative. I don’t have allergies, but nothing he tried has worked. Getting any dental work done aside from a simple cleaning is torture. I need a lot […]
Craigslist for Dental Sedation Driver
I need to have a tricky dental procedure done. My dentist said it will require I take sedation, which is a pill which will sort of make me too sleepy to be on my own. He did say I will need a driver to get me there and back as well as stay with me […]
Dental Sedation Decision
I’ve avoided the dentist for years. I’m starting to have some problems, like bleeding gums. I know I need to find a way to get back and get the care I need. I’ve had many bad experiences so this has been hard to think about. I’ve done some research and I keep reading that dental […]
