I’m not too worried about getting it pulled but the gauze they put in afterwards makes me gag and I’m worried my blood won’t clot in the cavity and I’ll get dry socket. ChatGPT says to tell the doctor ahead of time and he’ll find a solution. Less gauze or sutures or something.

Good luck today. My husband recently had a tooth pulled. It was rough for about a week and then he was fine.

I had to see the dentist two weeks ago. I’m deeply terrified of the dentist. It had been six years since last visit. They gave me sedatives to help. I had no cavities. She said I have a very healthy diet since my teeth looked so good. But I cannot go there without sedatives. It’s very traumatizing.

Well, I went to my appointment at 11:00 and there was a sign on their door that said "Out to lunch, 11:00-1:00. So I came home to make my therapist appointment.

Why didn’t you ask for novocaine? Didn’t they offer it? I had a deep cleaning several months ago, those things hurt.

No, I had the right time, 11:00. I called them at 1:30 and couldn’t reach them, then they called back and said their internet was down for two hours which is why they closed. Now, I’m waiting for them to give me another appointment.

My first dentist started doing things like that without notifying patients. I left the practice because it became a chronic issue. Anyhow, I really hope you can get your dental work done. I just had a cleaning but have my oral surgery tomorrow. I hope they can get your appointmentin soon.

Looks like you won’t have to deal with the dentist today. Hopefully your next appointment will go smoothly.

I recently had the rest of my teeth pulled. Long story. Anyway all he gave me was novacaine for getting 16 teeth removed. It took over two hours. It was one of the most awful things ever. I had a bunch of stitches. The f*ckers gave me only five pain pills. Five. And refused to give any more when I was dying from pain a few days later. I had to get my primary care physician to call in more pain pills and he called in 21 more pills of percoset which was enough for the most part. I hate trying to use dentures btw. It’s the worst. I’m sorry for anyone going through this.

It was extremely inconsiderate and unprofessional of them to not call you. Your time is just as valuable as theirs.
