getting a tooth pulled without anesthetic will hurt a lot more than the injection itself. once you get the shot you won't feel anything.

there are some dentists out there that are very gentle and treat people who are afraid of shots.

my dentist is very good with shots and i never feel it! he uses topical to pre-numb the area, i get the nitrous oxide and i don't feel a think.

If you want a tooth extracted without Novocaine shots then you would have to find an oral surgeon who uses general anesthesia but most won't use general for a simple extraction only complicated ones such as impacted wisdom teeth.

If you are afraid of injections tell the dentist you are and tell the dentist to use the gum numbing cherry flavored rub on your gums a couple minutes before the injections. You won't feel a thing, no pain, nothing.

I wouldn't suggest general for a non complicated extraction and most ethical dentists/oral surgeons won't do it.

The Novocaine IS the injection.

There are several dentists that now use conscious sedation. They will give you a pill to take about an hour before your appointment, and you probably won't remember a thing.

Make sure that you have someone to drive you home after your appointment, if you choose to use this.

You can get gas, and Novocaine before he injects you, and you will never feel the injection!!

I take a couple of Valiums and still shake everytime I go to the dentist, so she knows that she can not inject or drill without putting me out!!

Yes, if you can visit my dentist in St Malo, he will do whatever you tell him to and then give you a fair bill. If you live in UK you can get 70% of the bill refunded by the French. In UK don't you know people are so desperate for a dentist they are pulling their own teeth and using pliers ! Incredible !
