Why won't Novocaine work for me when i go to the dentist?!
Question:
Why won't Novocaine work for me when i go to the dentist?
The shots only last for about 45 minutes. The doctor is amazed. He said that it should last for 2-4 hours. I am in so much pain. And this is not the first time. It is every time.
Any ideas?
Answers:
Some people simply aren't affected by Novocaine; you would appear to be one of them. There are plenty of other numbing anesthesias available to your dentist; if he hasn't tried a different one, then you need to find another dentist. If all else fails, you can be put under a light general anesthesia to have dental work done; there's certainly NO reason for you to have to deal with pain during dental work!
