...i cannot believe i had injections before! the injections are ten times worse than the fillings! they ought to be banned and everyone have it done without.

big shiny teeth now

very proud of myself for being so brave!

shudder i am terrified of injections and last time i had a filling i demanded general anesthetic as am scared of the dentist as well!
Does it really not hurt? do you not get that horrible shock/sensative teeth pain or anything?
I admire you loads well done!

i jumped a couple of times when i think he hit the nerve but it was so fast that it couldnt be described as proper pain. i cannot tell you how surprised i was, i went in and asked for all the pain relief they would normally give a 5 year old and dp told me not to be so stupid am so glad i tried it

is a bit pathetic to be this pleased about having a filling and not crying isnt it?

i would rather give birth than go to the dentist, i get more worked up about a check up than i did about going into labour!

I had two done at the beginning of this pregnancy, and didn't know it was an option. Thought the dentist was joking, but tried itwith the proviso that he'd stop and give me injection if I wanted. He'd finished before it got bad enough. Definitely recommend it.

Well done all the others who've done it too.
