Jeramie Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist Yuck..... You know, I never floss. My dentist never says a word about it. I brush like crazy so Im guessing that helps loads. Btw, My dentist doesn't numb you when he does a filling unless you request it. Seriously. Its not as bad as you think. When he hits the nerve it hurts BAD but its only a second. The needle and all day numb face (or 100lb lip syndrome) is far worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist Yeah, well imaging being back in the days of your great grandparents and have a cavity. As for your teeth, cavities or being prone to them can be heredity. Some people get them regardless. Jeramie,....I would switch dentists. Mine numbs you but won't give you gas unless you request it. I figure, I'm there might as well have some fun while I am at it! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newarcher Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist That's precisely why I take the gas first and just about the time I start flying, I take the needle. I hate needles too, but I hate that drill a LOT worse. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkeygirl Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist I know, I hate going to the dentist because when I go, it's the saem scenario. You have a cavity - floss more. I do, every day! Of course when my sister goes, she doesn't have a cavity, go figure! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate needles too, but I hate that drill a LOT worse. New [/ QUOTE ] I hate the drill with a passion. I sweat like you wouldn't believe when he is in there. He uses the large slow speed drill. You feel the pressure even when you're numb so its not much different. Suddenly its like bighting Aluminum foil. It hurts for just a split second. As soon as you flinch he stops. He then tells you, "Can you handle 2-seconds of that?" Seriously thats about what it takes and its over. IMHO thats much better. It sounds horrible but for 3-seconds of pain versus a shot and numb face for the rest of the day, its a good trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist Jeramie, You are insane! Get the gas first, then the needle and you won't feel much of anything..... I would flip OUT if I had to be drilled on without novacane. New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJR Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist I have had root canals done without having any of that numbing crap!! Now the dentist I go to, uses it for just about everything except cleaning! It is a lot easier to put up with a little pain that have the whole side of your head numb for hours! I hate to have my head any number than it usually is!! LOL!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newarcher Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist I think it is fun to go walking around the office trying to drink a glass of water while the face is numb..... It is amazing the number of people who won't tell you that you look like you are having a stroke for fear of offending you! New Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist I hate going to the dentist too. Fortunately I guess, I brush pretty hard and two or three times a day, have only ever had a couple teeth that had to be filled. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Finn Posted October 26, 2006 Report Share Posted October 26, 2006 Re: Darn dentist Go to a Dr who's got a laser...you don't need the novacaine My wife's dentist in Naperville had one and it was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
