*sobs*

My chipped tooth has just chipped a bit more and now there's only blinking filling left of it !!!!


I've never had a tooth out in my life.

be kind to me...on a scale of one to ten how painful is it? xx

Clove oil ......or bite on a clove

and take some tablets




Or my remedy .....whiskey

Having to tooth out ...easy and it dont hurt .....

oops.... I am psychic.... I have just this minute pm'd you.... how spooky!!

It doesn't hurt at all.... and I am petrified.

There is a bit of a tug.... no feelings, but sort of pressure... and sometimes a bit of noise, but not in my case... I sat like an eejit waiting for the worst, and then he said.... it's fine, all done!! I couldn't believe it!

Love

Daff xxxx

Daff and Kemp THANK YOU... I feel a bit better for that...I think.

I like Cat's idea best.

Cheers LOL xx

It doesn't hurt a bit Muffy.

I had two wisdom teeth out when I was 17. I knew the top one was infected, but not the bottom one. When he numbed my mouth, he said he was taking both out and I panicked. The first teeth I'd ever had taken out.

Anyway, he said, 'tell you what, If I can get the top one out in less than 30 seconds, can I take the bottom one out too?'

I agreed, gripped the chair hard and shut my eyes.

10 seconds later he said, 'There, all done!'

So I said, 'Ok you can take the bottom one out now.'

'Done that too! he said. And sure enough, there they both were on the tray.

tell you what Muffs,

it'll be far less painful than somebody punching ya in the eye,,,,,,:}}}}}

so you wont want none of my McGowens highland toffees then

"skips of happily xxx

Cotton wool soaked in whisky might help.
It's not so much sore getting one out...it's just the thought.
Just sit back and think of something nice, not toooooo nice though lol

If your dentist is gorgeous it won't hurt a bit.

Even if he's ugly it won't hurt.

Just think, by Wednesday evening, the tooth will be gone!

If your dentist is good, you shouldn't feel a thing - it's the initial injections that are always a bit of a b----r, after that it's a breeze. Just remember, the bleeding should have stopped by the time you reach your car, the bus, whatever. I had a bad dentist once and the bleeding didn't stop for hours and I was really ill the next day with a temperature and felt lousy afterwards for several weeks. I don't want to scare you, but just make you aware that a bad dentist can really c..ck things up. It shouldn't be at all painful. I've had all mine out with only one bad experience, so really hope all goes well with you. If you know your dentist is good, you'll be fine.

Nice one Wend, that's really helpful for someone who is terrified of going. Muffy was looking for reassurance, not scare stories.

Come on Muffy - you big baby. Having your tooth out won't be anywhere near as bad as toothache. You'll be just fine and if the big nasty dentist hurts you I'll come and sort him out - at your expense of course:-))

Seriously - going to the dentist isn't the scary experience it used to be.

Well, I was only warning her. I was s..t scared every time I went, but I had just one bad experience, all the others were fine. I would have been grateful if someone told me that bleeding for a long time afterwards was not right and to get something done about it quick. I'm sure she'll be fine. It's VERY RARE to have a bad experience - I was just unlucky.

I'll warn him ahead of time scary Auntie Sue...

Thanks Wend...hugely helpful ;0)

I'm a bit of a daft wotsit...as you know so I'm sure I'll be fine :0)

I had my first tooth out when I was 17, given gas. Remember being told "time to wake up now, come on Libby" and replying "b*gger off and leave me alone". Thought it was my Mum trying to get me up for work (used to mutter this to myself. If I HAD said it to Mum I wouldn't be alive now !).

Went back the next day to apologise to the Dental Nurse.

Devine punishment for me, my 16 year old daughter says this to me on a daily basis and she doesn't mutter. Yoof of today. lol.

By the way, I didn't feel a thing.
Good luck ... I'm sure you will be fine.

Well these days the dentist gives you spare swabs and a leaflet which tells you what to do in cases of prolonged bleeding. It's not that big a deal.

OH has had two out in the last couple of years and went to work the same night both times TW...so ...though i'm absolutely bricking it...I'm semi confident that I'll be ok....OH has a much higher pain threshold though...but I know i HAVE to go else risk much worse.

I have too many to answer to if I back out so it's not an option lol xx

You will be fine, Muffy. It's the thought of going which is scary - it's rarely the experience that's the problem. After a week or so of toothache it's such a relief to get it out.
