Question: Dental crown tomorrow (fitting of crown) plz read?
Answers:
You could try to do it without any pain management, but it MAY be painful. You may not even need the local anesthesia. I would suggest you can call them in the morning and ask if they will be giving you the shots again. If so, ask if there are any other pain management opitons available to you. You may be able to get Nitrous Oxide administered, but local anesthetic (the shot) is, by far, the best pain management technique because its safe, effective, and efficient.
The pain management used is called local infiltration (if you care to google it) and your reaction is typical. I know my bf's nose got numb and ran like a faucet. :( Otherwise, ask your doctor how you could avoid this type of procedure in the future!
Good luck tomorrow!
