A Dentist Visit..

I am glad it went well and you are feeling no pain. I actually have panic attacks when I go to the dentist (don't worry I am not going to talk about a bad experience). I had to have a tooth fixed that had gotten chipped. I was really scared about it and worried I would have a panic attack. I called my regular doctor and told him about my panic attacks, and told him I was scared that I would have a panic attack and I needed to have this tooth fixed. He prescribed me these pills. I took one about 20 minutes before my appointment. I was scared at first and he put the novacain in to numb the area, and I was still pretty scared and starting to panic just a bit, but by the time the novacain had done its thing the pill must have taken affect. I started to feel so relaxed. Nothing the dentist did bothered me and I just kind of layed there completely relaxed. I could not believe how good I felt. I am happy to know now that there is something I can take for the anxiety and I now know that I don't have to be afraid to go to the dentist any more.

I have had good experiences and bad ones. I think that it all depends on the dentist. I found a good dentist around 10 years ago and have never felt any pain for any of my dental work. Even when I have my teeth cleaned it doesn't hurt. Once you are comfortable with that dentist is part of the pain free experience. I am sure the rest of your dental work will go just fine. The numbing agent is also better than what they used to use. The old novacaine didn't completely numb me, but what they use now, does. Good Luck, Irish!

if your a smoker like me dont smoke until the clot dry's, you said no bad news so i'll stop here. i did how ever get fitted for partials, they give you a big set to get used to while your real set is being made, after a few months of wearing those bulky things, i must confess i didnt wear them much i finally got my real molded thin and to every curve in my mouth......paradise i tell ya paradise one of the most remarkable thing's. haven't had a problem in 8 years and they still fit like a glove. oh and i got the ones where you cant see the curve clips, so cool. so happy. yea!!!!!hmmmm irishmist, me thinks more, tullamore dew

I'm glad your dentist visit went so well! I actually had a wisdom tooth removed right in my dentist's office and it came RIGHT OUT! I couldn't believe it. I felt some pain afterward as my mouth was healing, but during the procedure it couldn't have gone better. I couldn't believe how quick it was either because my tooth cooperated so well! Overall I'm not a huge fan of going to the dentist. Most likely because I have a mean dentist. lol I'm not a huge fan of his personality. He's a real smart butt and I don't always know how to take him. I do like how my teeth feel after a visit to the dentist though! :-)
