Novocane!
Are you a wimp like I am and demand a shot of Novocane for even the smallest of fillings?
Today, when my dentist asked me did I want Novocane for two little fillings, I gratefully accepted!
My dentist is very good and has never inflicted terrible pain upon me but it's the THOUGHT of going there - the terrible anticipation of it all!
Goodness knows what state I'd be in if it were an extraction or, horror of horrors, a root canal!
WAAHHG - I can't even think about it!

Novocane!
I used to spend the days before a dental appointment freaking out and trying to come up with excuses not to go. I am so glad I found out about a new kind of dentist in my area, (have no idea how widespread they are) who will put you right to sleep for any procedure. She gives me a pill to take half an hour before my appointment, (I have to be driven to and from my appointments, but who cares??!!!) and I am sound asleep for the whole thing. Even cleanings.
I had gone for years and years not going to the dentist because of my hatred of pain. I had never had braces, (even though I needed them) and when I finally started going again, I found that I could get near perfect teeth in about 4 visits. Because of all the advancement in the field, I got 3 root canals, a couple deep cleanings, 2 extractions, whitening, and my teeth reshaped to look almost perfect in less than 2 months. I was sound asleep for every visit and remember nothing. That's the way to go if you can find a dentist that does it!

Bullet's trial was a farce. Can I get an AMEN?????
We won't be punished for our sins, but BY them.

But I'm a wimp about being put to sleep as well!
What if I didn't wake up!

Novocane!
I have to have nitrous when I go to the dentist. Happy gas!!

Novocane!
The sound of a dentist's drill makes me break out in a cold sweat. I HATE going to the dentist and have no idea why.
Novocane!
I have the most sensitive teeth of anyone I know.....cold sensitive that is. The thought of cold water being sprayed on my teeth to rinse them gives me cold chills up and down my spine. Anytime I have fillings done, I have to have twice as much novacaine as normal patients. I have a really nice dentist though and she is always nice about giving me more. I wish she had the nitrous though, that would be nice.
I probably posted that in an ambien trance-soryy

Look, where else do you get the offer of a guy with full medical training, properly equipped with safety gear and a backup hospital down the road, who can legally take you into unknown territory and explore your pain thresholds for an hour at a time?
I've not had a dental injection for decades. I've had Lorraine - my dentist is female, which helps - explore, drill, fill, the works. She hated doing it the first few times, she tells me, but she appreciates that I have my reasons and she obliges quite happily now. We drilled out three roots to a single tooth, one day, it was wild. All she insists on is that I don't move. All I insist on is that she uses no painkillers on me, and that she eases off for a few seconds whenever I tell her to. I don't think I could do it if I didn't feel in control of what was happening.

Take away the sensation inside
Bitter sweet migraine in my head
Its like a throbbing tooth ache of the mind
I can't take this feeling anymore
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright
Tell me that I won't feel a thing
So give me Novacaine
Out of body and out of mind
Kiss the demons out of my dreams
I get the funny feeling, that’s alright
Jimmy says it's better than here,
I’ll tell you why
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming,
Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright,
Tell me that I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine
Oh Novacaine
Drain the pressure from the swelling,
The sensations overwhelming
Give me a long kiss goodnight and everything will be alright,
Tell me Jimmy I won't feel a thing,
So give me Novacaine
Green Day - Give me Novacaine

When you touch me, when you hold me, when you kiss me, it’s just like Novocaine.
I remember every cut and scrape I’ve been numb so long, something’s wrong so I'll take anything.
I slap my face, I pull my hair, just to see if something’s there.
It should hurt like hell, I miss the pinch, I miss the pain,
That shock sensation in my brain.
Cause when you touch me, when you hold me, when you kiss me, I don’t feel anything.
