Denists and anesthetics
My dentist said she would do a minor filling without one to see how I get on, as I might not need one for my root canal fillings if I need any of them done.
However what I am confused about is I thought dentists are only allowed to local anesthetics these days. Also I would bloody well hope they do a local anesthetic if I need any route canal fillings doing!

In my experience, root canal fillings arent really that bad, I had one last year and I was dreading it. It didn't hurt at all and was more uncomfortable than anything, and it took ages to do. Ive had fillings done without anaesthetic too but I would rather just have the injection just to be sure!

Did your teeth look a mess before you had them done? I don't get any pain from them but they look awful they need recapping. I am worried that means they are dead.
My bottom ones are nearly perfect though, they need a good clean and a couple of minor fillingsbut nothing major.

No what I mean is they they are only allowed to a local anesthetics so she might be planning to operate with any injections at all

Isn't it local anesthetics which they fire into you through the injection?

Demand a local..... state you have a low pain threshold! Refuse the treatment without it! Dentists do generals but in a hospital so i presuming that cos a all d risks involved in anastetics (i cant spell). Dentists are vicious tho!

If they are dead then you won't feel anything, cause the nerves are dead as well.

Anaesthetists administer general anaesthetics - dentists do not. Dentists can only administer "local" anaesthetic.
I think you'll find that many dentists' - mine certainly does - have a qualified anaesthetist that comes to their practice once a week to administer a general anaesthetic to those that need it. The anaesthetist will also administer sedatives if needed.
Always Get The Local.. My dentist gave me a little display without it and god.. well Maybe its different for different pwople but it hurt like hell. Although Im now in the situation Because ive had 4 fillings, I now need 2x Locals because I got so used to one.. I dread to think what happens when I can still feel it afer two...

Ask the dentist for some of the vodka/gin/whiskey/rum that he anaesthetises himself with after a long day...........

I thought they made it completly ilegal though as dentists don't have hospital facilities. I.e if you don/t wake up you're much better off in a hospital than some crummy dental surgery.
oh god i had a general anaesthetic when i was about 9 to have a couple of teeth out. They didnt give me enough, and i woke up just as they were sticking all the clamps in my mouth. I was screaming for my mum that they were going to kill me! Screaming when you cant close your mouth for all the clamps inside it is pretty scary too.
Seriously i still have nightmares even now. ANd if i ever have to have a hospital op, im going to be completely traumatised. I refused to have my tonsils out for that very reason.
