[quote=“jay\_g,post:20,topic:18817"”] If they use the numbing gel on the gums first you shouldn’t feel any pain with he needles. My teeth are very sensitive so I usually have them shoot me up for cleanings. I had surgery done last year and I swear the needle was a foot long lol. I’ve never done sedation, I don’t like feeling drugged up. [/quote] I had a filling done on Thursday last week. The novocaine was the worst part, it felt like my tooth was going to crack and exploded from underneath from the pressure. I really don’t mind needles other than that. \ filling out an Inspire Dental Form now. ---

^ I had a wisdom tooth pulled with just Novocaine. Doc told me to make a fist and put it under my chin. It was the weirdest feeling ever. ---

How’d that go? I really don’t mind paying a little extra to be comfortable. I like my dentist now, but I’d really like somewhere that uses more modern technology and possibly try sedation. I don’t have insurance so, I’m already over a grand on my credit card from dental work. Like even now, I’m feeling super anxious. It’s terrible. ---

I had 4 wisdom teeth removed at once. They knocked me the fuck out, then took a saw, and sawed the teeth into quarter pieces, pulled them out, then sewed everything up. 45 minutes to do all 4 teeth, apparently. I woke up and was fucking woozy, they took me out in a wheel chair, apparently my wife said I made a weird comment to the nurse. - - - Updated - - - > [@ProgRocker](#): > > Thanks, that sounds awesome!

If you have dental, go and have them cleaned…That inspire place looks pretty legit. Take it from me, go and have the cleanings done. It’s a lot better filling a tiny pinhole cavity than a root canal or tooth extraction. PLEASE go to the dentist. ---

I have started flossing more frequently and regularly to help combat that. Tough to get past the initial blood bath when floss touches my gums. haha ---

Maybe switch to Sensodyne tooth paste if you haven’t already. There is also specific mouth rinse for sensitive gums ---
