I just had two emergency root canals about a month ago; it was not as bad as I had always heard. I hope that helps a little.

I think it is normal to hear the ringing in your ears after you pass out, but it sounds like maybe you are having a panic attack. Call the dentist office first thing in the morning and let them know. They may be able to give you something more to help you calm down when you go in.

Good luck.

That's pretty extreme. I would suggest that when you get to the dentist, you explain how bad your anxiety is and ask for gas. This will make you high and in addition to the local anesthetic will kill your anxiety.
