conscious sedation in dentist

[encee]

is it correct that you dont feel it.there are pdf on internet saying you dont feel it.but i would like to hear from people who have had it.how much do you feel???cos i am terrified of dentists

Trust me, you really don't feel anything!

I would rather poke my eyes out with knitting needles that go to the dentist, so when I do go I need to be sedated. Its very difficult to explain, when the dentist had finished he said to me, 'right ok, all done' and even though I was concious, I didn't even realise he had done anything!

Afterwards its a bit like being drunk until the sedative wears off. I couldn't remember anything after him sticking the needle in my hand!

cheers cheekychops.love your id

[Whickerman]

even with just local anaesthetic it's really painless these days. Oh - and you don't even feel that being administered!

I don't know about the sedative, but I'd love to have your dentist wickerman. I certainly do feel the local anaesthetic injection. It is very painful with my dentist. I am dreading going to my dentist on the 20th, as he has to exrtact a molar with hooks on the ends of the roots. :o(

encee, none is more terrified than me. trust me, it's not bad. you don't feel it. i was scare as hell but after the first one, i was comfortable enough to have five more, total.

Intravenous sedation is THE answer. Usual anaesthetics stopped working on me about 10 year's ago, so I was forced to find a dental practice which gave IS. Once you have it, all fear (and pain) vanishes. After treatment you're up and out of there very quickly, with no unpleasant after-effects. I paid �90 for my last sedation, but work undertaken was on the NHS. Considering you hopefully only have a check-up every 6 months, I think any resulting treatment is well worth paying that amount for. You don't even feel the needle go in your arm, so for me, there's nothing better.

in my case because i was so scared, the dentist coat the gum with a gel which i think made the gum numb, then he injected the anesthetics .

i always have gas and air before any dental work, which can very wasily be provided. it makes you feel legless and you do not feel the jab, let alone any work being carried out

had a back tooth removed about 2 months ago and it was the only way i would go ahead

good luck
