He apologizes to me if he does something which causes me some discomfort and warns me beforehand if he is about to something which will cause me discomfort even if he already made me numb with the Novocaine. He also warns his assistant to be careful with me because I gag easily. (No gas or valium for me.)<br /><br />I can't put a price on that kind of good treatment so even if a crown costs $1,100 (with half of it paid by insurance) it is well worth it.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05503978839912338538noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-531929540868742412009-11-19T05:30:45.955-07:002009-11-19T05:30:45.955-07:00I loved my childhood dentist.

Sure, I never had a cavity until I tuned 18, so going to the mandatory dentist visit with school meant a day without classes twice a year.<br />:-)KoBoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285415909669136256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-52900562942631499752009-11-18T22:36:18.864-07:002009-11-18T22:36:18.864-07:00Go for the valium.

I had annoying reactions to certain numbing injections, but my new dentist loads me up on valium the night before and the morning of and uses much less anaesthetic. The valium makes you pretty much forget the whole experience. Just don't drive there or back if it's in your system. Have never had nitrous, so I can't compare.Popular Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14894841186993769936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-67922614179556807712009-11-18T20:45:42.114-07:002009-11-18T20:45:42.114-07:00I did not like my childhood dentist either.

This new dentist's staff offered me nitrous AND Valium if I want them. I've never tried either.Daizyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08075279944974601962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6787157690355329112.post-73445798375154564642009-11-18T20:42:09.764-07:002009-11-18T20:42:09.764-07:00Maybe the Mexican dentist will be great.
