Feeling scared

[CliffH]

I have booked tooth extraction under local anesthetic xx

I had a molar (the lower left seven, so not an easy one to get to) out on Wednesday under local anaesthetic: I didn't feel a thing and it's settled down already 🙂.

@corriefan I've always been scared of dentists. We used to move a lot as children and I was always allowed to go in first. I had a younger brother and sister as I tensed up listening to the sound of the drill. When I was 20 I made an appointment for a check up and the dentist told me to stop shaking as he hadn't done anything yet ... A few years later I had horrendous toothache starting on a Friday evening and not able to go to a dentist till the Wednesday as there were two bank holidays. I had a root filling that was beautifully done and not scary. Sadly after a few check ups I moved and went to a dentist when I had another root filling. I then didn't go to a dentist for more than 25 years. However I now have a lovely dentist and apart from the dreaded hygienist apart from two teeth out in 5 years, first a very difficult to reach wisdom and later one on opposite side next to wisdom tooth, offered a root filling but couldn't face it.

When I was a kid I had a tooth out because my mouth was too small. Mask with anaesthetic. My dentist is very experienced. I suspect I had extra anaesthetic jabs and he waited till they worked and he took each one out [ three years apart] quickly and painlessly.

I'm still nervous but I'm not scared. Good luck

Thank you so much xx

Well done! You put me to shame. I am still procrastinating. Thankfully both of mine seem to have settled down quite a bit allowing me to to keep putting it off of course! If I was in pain I would no doubt be banging down their door to help me.

Thank you it's so hard finding time to go to the dentist xx

Hi everyone I'm finding it so hard to find a baby placement a few childminders replied in a positive way. I heard one from day nursery Thursday asking when I wanted to volunteer but haven't heard back from since it would be ideal but don't want to get my hopes up x

Feeling disheartened as still not heard back from the day nursery thought it was sounding positive but heard nothing since x

 

[corriefan]

Still not heard so well take it as a no and ask childminders x

Have you contacted them? may just be an oversight or they have to do some checks which can take some time.

Thank you for replying yes I emailed the nursery this afternoon asking if a decision has been made as I'm enthusiastic but not heard anything x

At least you have made contact, don't worry as they may only look at e-mails at certain times, i.e. first thing in the morning.

Thank you for replying just it was so annoying when constantly checking my emails waiting for a reply from nursery x
