what to do about dental work

[[Buddie]]

Has anyone here been to the dentist and not had a setback from the anaesthetic? Speicifcally it seems to be epinephrine that causes people problems. I've been doing well for a while so I'm scared of risking my wellbeing.

Member Trina75 had some dental work recently - her first procedure was pretty rough but the second one went well.  Here is the link to her most recent post:

My dentist uses carbocaine plain (no epi) and it's never caused me any problems.

I’ve always asked for the shot without epinephrine.  Works great.

Used the regular shots every time with no issues at all

Had two back teeth extracted 3 weeks ago, destabilised my CNS further, but if I had to hazard a guess, I’d say it was the trauma rather than the epinephrine. I have to go back and have a couple of fillings soon, but I feel less concerned over that as opposed to extractions. I guess the next visit will expose whether it was the epinephrine or not.

I've had dental work done twice: I told the dentist no tranquilizing drugs because I was allergic to them.

The lidocaine for numbing didn't hurt me any.

Going around with a toothache is miserable; you have no choice in the matter really but to have it pulled.

I didn't take care of my teeth like I should have while taking psych drugs. I certainly do today.

Yes-the nitrous oxide put me into a viscous setback and I have to go back tomorrow 😢

My dentist also uses carbocaine plain

You can call the chosen clinic beforehand and find it out. I did this way. Moreover, you can look for reviews online and read other patients' feedback. I checked Cancun Cosmetic Dentistry reviews here https://cancun-cosmetic-dentistry.pissedconsumer.com/review.html and found the answers to all my questions. It is great that people share their experiences.
