I bet I really freaked out the other patients. They were all praying they didn't have the same dentist as me. Lol
Amber - 15 shots??? Oh H no .... they'd have to knock me out .... club me with a Shockwave or something.
I hate those shots .... nothing is worse than them.![]()

So I had my gums scraped today. The scraping wasn't bad, but the 15 injections in the mouth I got first were horrific!
I had no choice. Some sort of plaque buildup under my gum line was eating the bone away and I'd I didnt my teeth would all fall out! My worst nightmare! literally, I have nightmares where all of my teeth fall out.
And yay fudgey!
Yeah. I thought she was doing one or two then I started feeling the jabs. 3 on top inside, 3 top outside, 3 bottom inside, 3 bottom outside, 3 in the tongue. She had to reload the syringe. And it was a very big syringe. I screamed.
Oh Amber, sorry to hear that.... be sure and get some good drugs!!
Man, if I have to be tortured I want a GOOD buzz after!![]()
She said "go home and take some ibuprofen." didn't even get laughing gas.![]()
Root canal a while back, they did the injections and apparently hit a nerve. That entire side of my face was paralyzed for over 12 hours! I had to tape my eye shut because I couldn't blink and I could feel pain when it got all dried out, but I still couldn't blink. I'm not very fond of that dental assistant LOL
I have that nightmare too... it's creepy and wrong!

She said "go home and take some ibuprofen." didn't even get laughing gas.![]()
Wtf? Why 15? Sounds like great bedside manner explaining what they were going to do BEFORE the procedure...omg...
ibuprofen whatever, real drugs are in order!
My mouth was drooping on that side and I was drooling. I looked like I had a stroke. And the nightmare is terrible. They start crumbling in my mouth and I have to spit them out one at a time.
I "liked" that to show I read it .... sounds like you need a new dentist.
Our civilian dentist is WAY nicer than the Navy guys. She is a sweety.
Much better customer service since they WANT you to come back.
She didn't say that this time, maybe she got smacked. Lol! She just kept saying "calm down!" while she stuck an 18 gauge needle in my gums. Lol!

i had a back tooth extracted a couple years ago and i told the guy i could still feel the tooth after like 5 shots and he still yanked it and it wasnt easy for him or me. it was like he used a placebo number and im laying there going ahhhhhhhhh, oh fu....your killing me.....very loud. i bruised the nurses arm cause i had grabbed her and didnt even know it. it was a terrible thing to have happen..... kids, say no to drugs,lol.
