Question: I have a dental question but don't want anyone judging. I have a cavity I need fixed but local anesthetics..?
Answers:
If that's how you feel, you should call the dental office locally and ask them. There is a procedure of numbing that directly numbs the tooth itself and not your whole mouth, maybe that will work, worth a try, a lot of dentists don't like to do that because it hurts the doctor's hand, good ones do though, keep asking...
You won't find a place that will sedate you if you are on Medicaid. It costs a lot of money to do it and the provider expects to be paid for his services. Medicaid won't pay them.
As far as you not getting numb with locals, why don't you find someone who uses articaine? I find that I achieve more profound anesthesia with it than I do with lidocaine. You can also find someone who will prescribe halcion and nitrous for you.
I am a dentist
What you need to do during regular business hours is call The (ADA) American Dental Association or the Washington Dental Society and they will give you your best options. They will also give you oral specialist in your area because they maintain a registry. I was married to a dentist.
