Do you have a strong threshold for pain?

I am capable of taking a lot of pain. Hate the effect of freezing during dental work. Imagine...got my wisdom tooth pulled without freeze. I must admit I was sweating like hell....but, not once ask the dentist to stop. Happy to know taking pain is common between us.

I could handle pain in other parts of my bodies like headache, body ache, dysmenorrhea with muscles involves but not in terms of tooth filling. i experience undergone cleaning, tooth extraction, pasta refilling, and laser but they are less painful. Nut, in your case if it happens to me i think I have les sthreshold for pain and would advice the dentist to put anesthesia on my gum so that I could not experience too much pain.

while i am not a wimp and i do live with pain pretty much every day because of my knees. there is no way i would do that. i hate going to the dentist to begin with!

For my first baby's birth I had a water pool plus used gas and air. I didn't have any pain relief for my second and third babies births. I don't like going to the dentist. If I have a filling it feels cold like ice. I am having trouble with my front two teeth and my wisdom tooth which has been coming through for ages. I hope that you are well my friend Vicki.

No I am not one for handling pain well. Just ask my dentist. I grip the chair arms with the slightist hint of pain, even when I'm getting my teeth cleaned, as I have very sensitve teeth.

Funnily enough I am a complete wuss except for my teeth which I endeavour not to have freeze for. I am a man of course and we are such big babies when it comes to pain - and other things of course.

Depends on where the pain is. I had three C-sections and I handled that well. I have also had bad scrapes, cuts, and sprains and such and I handled that fine too. But I can not handle mouth pain. I can't stand things that hurt in my mouth. I also don't like going to the dentist I don't like people fiddling in my mouth. I am happy I have only had a couple of small cavities in my life if I had to have more work done than that I would not be able to deal with it. Not because of the pain, but more because the dentist would have to be in there a lot longer than I would want him there.

I have an artificial hip that tends to throb in pain when the weather changes drastically. Before that, I hardly told anyone that I have a metal joint and a bad knee (on the same leg), and I am stronger than a lot of people, doing things like ifting weights and moving things that one normal person could not do. So it shocks people that to learn that I have a metal joint. Once, I went to push a Suburban out of some snow it was stuck in, but my shoes were slipping, so I took my shoes off hoping to gain traction barefoot, on snow and ice, but the truck slid back nearly pinning me with another car. So I braced myself on the other car to push this truck, and was able to do it, but at the expense of crushing a bumper, and leaving a dent in the truck. I don't know how, but somehow, that shock of going barefoot on ice gave me an extra jolt. People told me I was going to freeze because I had no shoes or coat on, but I never did, after damaging to vehicles and dragging a tree that fell on the road. Yet, I cannot stand needles. I had some blood drawn once and six people had to hold me down to do it, and I still managed to bend a bar I was holding on to. I had a bad experience with needles once, and grew a fear of them.
