Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 Good luck tomorrow!!! Does your daughter know self hypnosis??? Or do you? Maybe hypnotize her for the procedure to block the pain? Dental Numbing My daughter is having two baby teeth extracted on Tues. Novacaine administered normally does part of the job - but she still feels pain. Last month when she had two teeth extracted the dentist did an intraligament injection - this hurt some while it was being administered, although he numbed the area some first with topical and other injections. She had more pain in the jaw/mouth the next several days than with previous extractions. The doctor is now recommending Septocaine (and the rest of this I'm not positive about) injected into the nerve at the back of the jaw. Anybody know anything about this? I'm going to speak with the dentist tomorrow afternoon to go over her care and want to be as knowledgable as possible about this. When we went for the last extraction he didn't believe me about the hereditary non-deadening problem with EDS until I showed him the report - then he read it and believed me - with that in mind, I definitely want to go prepared - paper in hand. She will have nitrous oxide to help her relax but I refuse to give her the other narcotics. The dentist strongly recommends it - but I think mostly because of the aspect of behavior control of the patient. My daughter sits very well, tolerates pain fine and doesn't need narcotics if they aren't absolutely necessary! She also has POTS - and that's just one more reason to steer clear of unnecessary sedation. I already have the 4 files on dental aspects from Jill. Any thoughts, info and experience on dental numbing is much appreciated. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2004 Report Share Posted June 13, 2004 LOL - Hypnosis hadn't crossed my mind - but I've given some thought to acupuncture - maybe I'll have learn how to do that next. > Good luck tomorrow!!!
