Answers:
I would consider changing the dentist if he / she makes you
uncomfortable and is not ready to listen to you!.

Your tongue will only go numb if the root canal tooth is one of your lower teeth!. You can listen to your favorite music during the appointment, this may help distract you from that feeling!. The numbing medicine that Dentist's use has epinephrine which is the same thing that your body produces like when you get scared!. Don't be scared to talk to your dentist!. Tell him that you are scared, he might not know this!. Even though dentists may seem mean they might not be!. If he doesn't find a way to help you deal with this and calm you down there are a lot of dentists out there who aren't mean!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
