I just came home from the dentist. I had to get 2 cavities filled and I wanted my silver filling replaced plus my last wisdom tooth needed to get pulled. I just changed dentists in Dec 07. I had so much work done in the past months this was finally my last appointment! SO I was really nervous going in because the idea of having my tooth pulled was making me panic. I guess I must have a bad reaction to the novacaine because he had to shoot me around 8 times until I felt completely numb. I'm laying back and as soon as he injects me I start to feel hot and clammy. I feel like all my blood is rushing to my head and I feel panicky. It was the weirdest thing I always feel like this SLIGHTY when I get a lot of Novocaine but this was crazy. I really thought I was going to pass out and die. I told them to lift me up and started to cry. The higentist there is like some one's Mom or what you would hope someones Mom would be like. SO nice and always telling me what a big girl I am... lol She got some tissues and sat with me and calmed me down. At that point I know the dentist is really regretting not sending me to the oral surgeon. He told me that he couldn't give me anymore novocaine and he might not be able to pull it. So finally we get to it and it was so weird. He got lock jaw around my face pulling and twisting my tooth. The pressure is unbelievable and I still feel it a little bit. She's holding my hand the whole time telling me how good I am doing. Finally I hear it crack a couple of times and out it comes. That sucker took 15 mins! Much longer than expected. It turns out my root was curved around the bone or something and he didn't want to leave me!! LOL So he gave me a script for some pain killers and originally before he started to pull he told him not to worry because I wouldn't be in pain the next day and when he's done he's all like sorry your going to hate me tomorrow!! So it was a really traumatic day and I just wanted to vent and get it out. I hope I can work tomorrow night.
