Pirate I hate the dentist.....I am in tears if I know I have to have any work done but a few years ago I got a new dentist who understood the anxiety and I am his only adult patient as he usually only deals with kids   He is very patient with me and gives me the kids numbing cream before the needles (stop laughing).  He knows how stressed I get before coming to see him but he has been so good that I have never needed anything other than the odd filling in the years I've been with him and on my most recent visit he said my teeth were perfect and that is due to him being so nice that I am not afraid to go see him when I have ANY trouble or hint of pain whereas years ago I would have let my teeth fall out before I would have went near a dentist.

Find a good dentist, get the treatment you need and then GO BACK every few months for your check ups so they can spot any trouble before it leaves you in pain.  Prevention is a LOT less painful than leaving them get so bad you are tempted to pull them out yourself.

I'm not laughing because that's exactly what MY dentist does too.

He also takes a very slow - but gentle - amount of time in proceeding with any injection.

I don't feel a thing.  Not a thing.

And I never get any after pain either once the meds have worn off.

If a dentist can't do his work without the patient feeling pain or excessive discomfort then he's not a good dentist, imo.

Pirate have you any cloves or clove oil ? That numbs the mouth, its a mild local anaesthetic. Sorry its bad 

It's a small thing Cosi but makes all the difference!  Just because we're adults doesn't mean we like the feeling of a huge needle in our mouths!  My OH calls me a baby but when he's sat eating painkillers like smarties when he's had work done then I know who is the smart one!

els f*ck it id have em all out

im in pain and i dont care

It's a BIG thing, Ells, when you consider that there are dentists still out there who have no care for their patients' pain!

I had a doctor (years ago) and he said that "in this day and age no one should suffer pain".  I found a dentist who felt the same  

To be honest if they're causing so much trouble I'd have them all out too.

Then have a nice set of pearly white falsies that give you no pain at all!

My old dentist knew of my fear and decided that the best thing for him to do was tell me I was having a check up and while doing the usual 'B1 sound, B2 sound' thing that they do, must have sad something in code to the nurse because next thing I know there's a huge needle being jabbed into my mouth and I'm screaming and calling him all the b*stards of the day with the needle still in my mouth.  I think he was more shocked than I was at my reaction because he sent me out to the waiting room to calm down and let the stuff work and when I came in he apologised profusely but I was in no mood for it and that was the last time I saw him.

im gonna be gummy

And that's exactly why any sane person would find another dentist 

I'm the customer and I'll pay whoever offers the best service  

But pain free 

And then, nice new teefs 

im gonna have my teef pulled out tomusic

i have an infection

im not we;ll

i want my Mom

How many are coming out?

2

theyre gone now!

i think i mighta drank too many brandys

what on earth was going on about

having my teeth pulled out to music

 At least its over now Pirate. Was it sore? 

nah not too bad-i think if id've sneezed they'd have flew out anyway

I swear to god I could slap you silly boy - if you'd have booked an appointment at the dental hospital, you would have had your treatment by now. 

glad you're sorted but you need to have regular check ups with a scale and polish 

took me ages to find a dentist I was comfortable with as I hate them with a passion but I've now been with my one since 1995 and I even trusted him to extract my wisdom tooth  that was a biggie for me 

pengy

wisdom teeth *shudders*

theyve got roots right down to yer knees they have

They're monsters those things!  Poor Pengy 

i cant see the point in teeth

youre born without them-go through agony to get your 1st set come through

the b@stards then fall out

then you grow a new lot

then (in my case) they bloody fall out again!

Sorry if this has been covered but ... which did you have out?

Have you considered implants to replace them.

My friend fell onto his mouth whilst drunk and smashed his teeth badly. Most at the front are loose and starting to blacken.

He's went through agony and said if he could he'd have the lot out and replaced by implants.

they wont give me implants cos i smoke
