The Dentist

There was blood when you got a filling? What did the dentist do, cut your gums?

You know they drill into your tooth and gums.

You just feel unstable on your feet and drunk afterwards but it wears off quite fast.

Dentists are horrible, I don't think anyone enjoys going to the dentist but unfortunately it is something we must all face if we want a healthy mouth and teeth. Basically, you either see a dentist or have awful teeth and suffer with painful toothaches for ages.
I hope you manage to conquer your fear and get to a dentist :)

I don't know why people don't like going to the dentist. Personally, I'm fine with the experience and, even with the drilling and whatever, I don't see why people should be scared. It's not like they're going to kill you or anything.

Anyway, there is NO point whatsoever to get put to sleep for a two-minute procedure. The injection doesn't hurt, and whatever happens after that couldn't even be felt. I'm getting another two extractions soon (because of braces).

I'll take a fit, plus he might want to do some other dental work like fillings because like 2 of my fillings have fell out since the last time.

My teeth have never been drilled, he usually blows air into the thing does the filling then cleans it etc

You do need your teeth filled for a filling, anyway got an appointment for Thursday, hopefully going to remove it then. Bricking it like

awwww
goodluck
im sure it will all go fine
and then you can come back and tell us how amazingly well you did <3

Look, i had an abscess a few months ago, but before that i had toothache about the end of Feb, i thought it would go away, didn't realise it was really serious but about a month later it got really bad and went to the dentist, found out it was an abscess, and if you don't get something done about it it can be fatal, blood poisoning and kill you, don't put the dentist off, seriously it isn't worth the pain. You might either just get the tooth out or if it's a abscess, choice between root canal and getting it removed.

Yeah you have to have them drilled lol :S

You'll simply have to over come your fears paul. If its been trouble for that long then you really need to get it sorted and over come them phobias if your in that much pain. They will probably give u valleum or something to knock you out if they do it.
