Toothache, part 2.......

Okay, so today was the actual dentist appointment following my recent cracking and subsequent toothache.

My appointment was at 4.20 and I began shitting myself at around noon...

Anyway, I arrived at the dentist only to be told that I had no appointment, created a bit and was then told they could fit me in as someone hadn't turned up (I should probably add that I was the only person in the dentists!!)

Sat in the chair and started to rant, cracked my tooth, wisdom teeth, too many, grinding at night, aaaggghhh!!!

So my cracked tooth is still infected and the dentist confirmed that I need a root canal, he told me this and then continued to say "i'll just numb the area" as i shuffled in the chair blubbing that I was scared and in need of sedation!! He gave me a temporary filling and sent me on my way...

Got a consultation for Thursday and I can book the anesthetist from there which I was particulary happy with as I like the fact that they put me out and when I come round, I have absolutely no idea whats happened and tend to have that paralletic feeling, fantastic!!! This lasted until I spoke to my boss who said, "isn't that worse, they don't give a shit when you're out, so they don't take as much care" and worse still, "what if they touch you, they'd have a field day with you!"" (Just what I needed to hear!)

So now I don't know what to do, i've gone into panic mode - sedation or no sedation???
