Something similar happened to me but the dentist just put the needle in my gums to numb it and i was awake during the whole procedure. Maybe you can ask your dentist to do that instead.

I wish this could be the case but they totally have to cut into the gum and pull and I don't want to see what they are doing but at the same time I really don't want to be out cold! It is a no win situation really! I just want it to be done and over...and to boot, i am starving and can't eat right because I have to fast till 3!

Dont worry about it.... it is going to be a simple procedure. I do not think they will put u to sleep though.. at least they didnt for a girl in my office, they just novocaine the area.

GOOD LUCK

Dont worry, just stay calm. If you get all worked up you may not recover as quickly. You'll be fine.

Hey all I survived, lol! It felt like it was over in 5 minutes. I feel like crap right now and am afraid to take the vicodin so I am going to try to just sleep this feeling off. Thanks for the well wishes today!
