[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 514153, member: 84"] Hugs (((((hugs))))) Janet You know I've been there done that, got the tee shirt. Sad to say but the anesthesia issue is why I have such a huge enormous fear of dentist in the first place. I can tolerate pain amazingly well, everywhere [B]except[/B] my mouth. I agree with Susie, make certain dentist keeps this pain under control and deals with any and all issues that crop up. (I also have the misfortune far too often have complications from extractions) I do like the guy I have now. He at least listens to me about the fact I require much more anesthetic than your average patient, has no issue giving it to me (although often is amazed at how much it takes), and no issue about waiting the sufficient amount of time for it to work properly. On top of that is quite skilled at extraction so it's over with fairly quickly, not giving the medications time to wear off. That alone is enough to make me love the guy. A bit of advice, if your enamel tends to crumble, don't get a bridge. The pressure and metal fastenings will (regardless of dentist claims) cause your tooth enamel to give way on the anchor teeth. I haven't worn my lower bridge since shortly after getting it when it did exactly that, I was soooooooooo mad. But turns out lowers aren't required. I eat just fine without them. Baby yourself the next few days. Scrambled/boiled eggs, soup, jello, pudding, mashed potatoes, oatmeal...........you know the drill. (((hugs))) [/QUOTE]
