Don't stress!!!
Far better to do it under local anaesthetic then a general. If you are awake, the dentist will be more gentle. You will feel some pushing and shoving, but there will be no pain. When the anaesthetic wears off, you will be a little sore and sorry...but you are much better off than if it had been done under a full general. If you are out cold, the dentist can be brutal, because he knows you cant feel it...then afterwards, the pain is shocking, more swelling etc. Believe me, it won't be too bad and you are doing the right thing to stay awake. Be brave..you'll be fine. x
