I've tried, but haven't figured out how to find stillness inside.

But...I share youre "love" of the dentist. But instead of sedation dentistry, I meditate, and cover up all the sounds with music in my ears. My dentist doesn't ask me a question until she is done b/c she knows I am not theoretically there. I try to focus on the moment I walk out of the office instead :)Soundtrack of My Hearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05726920649163935695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-57006375646282152872009-07-28T14:41:32.517-05:002009-07-28T14:41:32.517-05:00Frances: You're absolutely right about the fi...Frances: You're absolutely right about the first appointment today. They took X-rays (I'm fine with those) and gave me the antibiotic. Long story short, this is my first visit to this dentist; I like him and he seems very willing to work with my issues.<br /><br />The only bad thing is that he's going to be gone for a couple of weeks starting next week, so my work can't be done until Aug. 21. :( But he made sure to write my Rx for enough antibiotic pills to get me through until then. (It's the infection that causes the pain.)<br /><br />Leanne: I don't know if you brother has IV sedation or what I'm having, which we call "conscious sedation". I will still be awake enough to follow directions (open wide, rinse, spit, etc.), but I won't feel any pain or remember anything about it. I've had it done before and it works well for me.Annie Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07123644833186800503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-17059918919218786572009-07-28T09:47:09.867-05:002009-07-28T09:47:09.867-05:00I've never been afraid of the dentist even tho...I've never been afraid of the dentist even though all the kids that attended my childhood dentist can be recognised by one quick look in their mouths. He loved fillings, I mean he luuurved fillings and would fill every single tooth in your head whether you needed them or not.<br /><br />He was later struck off the register!!! Moving on:)<br /><br />Best just sticking with the sedation if it works for you, my brother wouldn't be able to go to the dentist for so much as a check up without it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16340429187911872470noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5511897216767402899.post-32006139763992601402009-07-28T09:15:26.347-05:002009-07-28T09:15:26.347-05:00Hugs to you!

I have never had an issue going to the dentist as we were very fortunate to have great dentists growing up.<br /><br />Do you have to be sedated for the Xrays? Could you go have that done so the dentist could see the problem? If you have an abscessed tooth, he wouldn't be able to do the work immediately, but he could give you antibiotics and pain meds.<br /><br />I hope you get it taken care of soon and that it is not to terrible for you!Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01817017829323955078noreply@blogger.com
