Anxious about dentist, allergies to composite fillings?

Tell the dentist about your concerns before he/she starts the work.

Don’t worry about all that. Hope instead that you are not allergic to the pain killer Lidocaine.

Haha, I actually am. I have to get carbocaine without epinephrine and no preservatives.

@Ammolite You are one very sensitive individual! I just had a root canal recently, and had to extract a molar last year… Boy am I ever glad I am not too allergic to the dentist chems!

@davidbetterman Sorry to hear about all that dental work, though.

Yeah, I am, but when I see people allergic to the sun, gluten, soy, etc., I feel grateful.

I just hope it all goes well, because few things in my life turn out without a hitch.

Tell your dentist your concerns. They are prepared to deal with them. Teeth pulled sucks but it isn’t bad. (get the gas if you can). This stuff is inevitable. Get a simple filling now or get 4 root canals in a few years. The filling hurts a lot less. Trust me. I have had both.

Get the gas if you can and bring a iPod. Between the two I haven’t felt any pain at the dentists for a long time.

I’m a Registered and Certified Dental Assistant and I never once heard about that happening when I went to school or worked in dental offices. I really wouldn’t worry.

@Ammolite By the way, I lurve your avatar!
