Dental anaesthesia?

Have just lost big filling but know this time it'll need a crown.


I never have a local anaesthetic for fillings - just grin and bear it - but has anyone done the same thing when having a crown?


Last time I had a jab was 15 years ago to have a tooth out - and I've managed to do without ever since. For me the injection is the worst part of any treatment. My dentist is excellent - but i know he doesn't use any gel before giving injections. I'd also like to know how I can find out which dentists in my area (North West England) use "the lance" which I gather makes the treatment much less unpleasant.


I'd pay for private treatment if I knew one who did. No I'm not a coward - just had so many jabs when I was younger - it put me right off!

Dental anaesthesia?
I'm totally with you on this one my friend, I'm a registered dental nurse and am terrified of needles, not just in the mouth but anywhere on the body.


If and when i need any treatment i go with out the dreaded jab, i personally thinks it's mind over matter, i dont mind and it dont matter!


Your dentist may have to give you a small jab whilst preparing the tooth for a crown as when he/she drills the tooth, the drill may come into contact with the gum line and this can feel uncomfortable.


Trying looking on the net to find out what techniques your local dentist use in terms of dental treatment.


Hope this has been of some help!
Reply:I've just completed extensive dental treatment after not going for several years as I am so terrified of dentists. Although I live in Wales, I actually travelled to the heart of London as I was recommended to a marvellous dentist who uses the wand for injections, but still uses numbing gel before that. Even so, because I am so terrified and didn't want to know or feel at all what was going on, gas and air was not good enough so I went for IV sedation. Completely out, no problems at all and though I have a needle phobia as well, with numbing gel on my arm first, I didn't feel a thing. Perhaps this sort of thing would suit you. Expensive but well worth it.
Reply:I've had the majority of my dental work done under general anesthesia...Totally asleep. That's the way to go! And I am a total wimp when it comes to dentists.
Reply:There is a dentist called Foley in Crosby Merseyside,who is private %26amp; should use advanced methods.
Reply:Have anaesthetic every time i go to the dentist, last time i was there, on the chair, for 4 hrs... I hate it but put up with it so that my teeth look good at the end of it. So yes, had that million times! Doesnt scare me, its annoying only. I feel no pain anymore!
