Painless Dentistry

I just had tooth nerves extracted for two consecutive days, and I just cannot forget the torture drillings and the tormenting shots. I can take the anaesthesia on the gums which was only like an ant bite but it did not numb my gums and the dentist had to painfully drill open the cavity and directly inject anaesthesia into the tooth nerve. Wow, the pain did not made me collapse, but it was unforgettable. And I had to undergo it again the next day for another tooth. I have heard of painless dentistry but I don't think there is yet a technology that will apply to my case except if general anaesthesia is administered. Ever been to the dentist without having to endure the pain?

wow, I don't think your dentist was that good. There should have been a rest day for you and your nerves no matter how bad your condition is. I think dentists must have light hands because I haven't run into one who gave me too much pain.

I would rather have it on the same hour, its' hard to sleep and eat with a toothache. The problem was I was unable to determine which tooth hurts as my whole head is confused with much pain at that time. And I was thinking it was only one tooth that is affecting all my nerves to react badly.
