My Dentist Appointment Went Well

Tweet

I posted on here last week asking whether anyone had used valium before a dentist appointment. Well, I am happy to report that I went to the dentist on Tuesday and I took 1 valium 90 minutes before I got there. Great news...the appointment went very well. The valium made me quite tired. In fact, when I went into the dentist's office there was one person in line ahead of me, and I had to sit down because I felt my body sort of weaving back and forth. I am so happy that it's over and with the amount of Novacaine they gave me, I didn't feel any pain at all. I was aware of what they were doing, but I just didn't really care about it too much and really wanted to go to sleep. When the dentist was all done, I told him someone should invent a dental drill that doesn't make any noise because half the anxiety for me was waiting for the pain to start every time he used the drill! The dentist agreed and said whoever develops that will make a lot of money! The only problem with the valium was it made me SO sleepy. I slept all the way home in the car (my husband was driving), and then when we got home, I fed the dog and went to bed and slept for another three hours straight! It was kind of a waste of most of the day, but worth it to me, because getting dental work done is my biggest fear in the world! What is your biggest fear?
