Injections For Tooth Fillings?

[cupotee2]

I went to the dentist a few weeks ago to have 2 back teeth filled. The injection didn't work so a second injection was given. Still didn't numb the gum so it was decided to try again another day.

Today was that day, and the same thing happened. My face went numb but not the gum.

I am now to be referred to a dentist some miles away as there is nowhere closer that will do a filling under Anesthesia.

I am wondering why this is happening, I've had many filling with an injection over the years.

I also wonder about trying another local dentist to see if it happens again.

Any advise or info would be appreciated. Thank you.

The treatment I need is for 2 fillings. Both left lower back teeth.

Just had a reply to an email asking the price for this treatment.

Why don't you go to your local hospital - perhaps they have a dentist school there. Good luck Cupotee. Going to the dentist is not pleasant.
