I can understand your anxiety when getting your teeth worked on
along with the frustration when dealing with the dentists/staff and
them being reluctant and seeming to be puzzled by your wanting
sedation. I personally do Not get that just because I have a
traumatic brain injury (TBI) from inhalant use/huffing from when I
was 12, but I can empathize with you especially when dealing with
dentists. I get really nervous too. Though it is my understanding
that Some dentists will give nitrous to their patients. Some may
even say so in their ad in the yellow pages. For me, they just put
that numbing gel on a Q-tip for a minute or so, and I just 'suck-up'
the pain for a minute, then the numbing comes on. I do understand
your anxiety though. I also Always get the novacain/lidocaine
withOut adrenaline cause that makes one shake in itself. It just
might take more of the Non-adrenaline type to work. For me, it's
worth it. I hate even the smell of dental offices!
