Really really nervous =/..........?!


Question: Really really nervous =/..........?
I have to get a filling, it's not a real big cavity but big enough where I'll have to have shots of Novocain. But I always feel like it doesn't work for me, I remember the last time I had a cavity the dentist gave me 3 shots and I could still feel EVERYTHING!! Could I take a hydrocodone before to maybe help with the pain and to calm my nerves a little (I still have some left from an old prescription)

Answers:

No, to the hydrocodone!
Tell your dentist... they have more than one type of Novocaine. He'll use a different one this time, and if you're still in pain... have him give you a break for a few minutes. The main thing is this... this filling is necessary, and, a small amount of discomfort is worth it... to save this tooth! The best thing you can do is to start relaxing about this routine procedure. Half the battle is in your ability to relax.
Our teeth are subjected to everything we eat and drink... and the older we get... the harder it is to care for them, so save all of the ones you can now.
