My dentist strokes my cheek and says there there like I’m a nervous horse 😂

As a patient, wiggling the cheek really helps distract!

Agree with all of these! Also I use endo ice before drilling to test that the tooth is frozen. Helps build trust with the patient and puts them at ease that they’re numb. I know there’s no scientific evidence to support this, but anecdotally nervous patients don’t freeze as well IMO.

You reckon if I close the cartridge in my hand, it will be warm enough? I work in the public system in Aus and requesting anything is so hard 😭

Warming anesthesia prior to injection is a strange idea to me. Then I researched on PubMed. It’s true according to 3 articles I briefly read. Damn it!

I pull cheek taught then wiggle cheek while depositing and go super slow then press on the injection site after and massage

I had a tooth extracted 5 weeks ago and now I’ve got shards of bone coming out of my gum. Is this normal?

Is there a reason do you think that some just don’t take the steps to make it less painful like having less time or just not being arsed? Only once in my life have I had one take the time to make it not hurt and that one time made all the difference to me as someone petrified of the dentist.

Warm injection does not show to be more comfortable for the patient and actually might be less effective. I absolutely agree with the rest of

topical anesthesia first for 2-3mins on a dry mucosa then the injection very slowly works well as well

I’m 31, never had a filling but my dentist says there may be a filling in my future.. I’m positively terrified of needles so I’m hoping not for a while! I hope he maybe does some of these tips 😂

I always feel mine pop when my dentist puts the needle in my gum, then it’s the waiting game as one is never enough so he has to go in sometimes 2 or 3 times before I’m numb
