    I have a problem with needles. Every time I have to get stuck, I warn the nurse or doctor or whatever that there’s about a 60% chance I’m going to pass out. Fearing a needle in the mouth, I once asked my dentist to drill a cavity without. He did so, and yeah it hurt a little but not nightmare inducing. It’s harder to get me to go to the eye doctor because of that damn eye poke machine I hate that thing.

      I used to get all my dental work done without anesthetic. When my dentist first proposed it I thought he was nuts but we gave it a try. Now I wish I could find one that’s willing to do it, because the original guy retired. A good dentist can make it work, but I don’t think most dentists care enough to get good anymore. They just load you up with drugs and try to get through as fast as possible.

        I’ve got a damn good dental team; my ordinary dentist won’t knock you out but he’ll do local anesthetic, Novocaine etc. and my Dental surgeon will put you OUT. He did an excellent job, I’ve had barely any complication or pain, dude plain nailed this extraction.
