I'm pretty sure its an injection they give you to make you sleepy but you'll still be aware during the process with no pain but forget about it all after it wears off. I'm in dental hygiene school right now and last semester I saw them do some extractions that way. If they give you the injections in your mouth it wouldn't make you sleepy but its not bad at all! We actually had to give injections to each other for the first time and there were no problems at all :) You'll do great!MariahSmilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010471153686969440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626270840901996502.post-18023698226875421242010-01-08T13:14:58.153-05:002010-01-08T13:14:58.153-05:00I actually just had a cavity filled and I was a ne...I actually just had a cavity filled and I was a nervous wreck. Not enough to have anything to calm me down, but still really nervous. I've had teeth pulled (years ago, before I had braces) and it wasn't bad. It doesn't hurt at all, they numb you pretty well and the shots don't hurt (like Rachel said). I did hear my dentist talking about giving another patient "somethign" and that something was (I believe) a nerve pill (like a Xanax situation). So you might need someone to drive you back!<br /><br />Dentists don't waste ANY time! I think it's cause there are SO many out there, they just want your business! Good luck! I'll say a prayer for you :)Amanda @ It's Blogworthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14919340979575037179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626270840901996502.post-83436642684972925402010-01-08T12:58:16.632-05:002010-01-08T12:58:16.632-05:00Girl - if it can happen to your mouth, I've pr...Girl - if it can happen to your mouth, I've probably had it! You may or may not remember me talking about it, but I had my 2 top front teeth knocked out when I was 16. Had two root canals and I now have caps on my teeth! The whole process really wasn't that bad.<br /><br />I also had a tooth pulled once because it was absessed. Again, didn't bother me. The only "pain" meds they gave me were anesthesia via shots in my mouth. And again...those aren't bad. As a matter of fact, when they were doing my root canals on the front teeth - I had to have 13 shots in about 2 hours (and the front is where they are supposed to hurt the worst). It basically just feels like a bee sting. Not bad at all.<br /><br />If you are concerned about the medicine they give you to "sort of put you to sleep," I would just call and ask about driving after. Because that's something you really need to plan ahead!<br /><br />Good luck and I'm sure you'll do great! Just remember that it will all be over in a couple of hours (and maybe a lot shorter than that!)!Rachel Graynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626270840901996502.post-82651982114345016782010-01-08T12:53:28.944-05:002010-01-08T12:53:28.944-05:00It's going to be a OK!

I've had TONS of fillings done and those aren't too bad either. Just hang in there and remember...tylenol is your friend!Crazy Shenanigans-JMOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03494603714481735184noreply@blogger.com
