@max, Oh my, we don't do such practice here, Max. The effect taking of the anesthesia takes just a few minutes, so I would wait beside the patient till that, and continue with the treatment. I won't intervene a treatment procedure with the other.

number 9 in the reasons for dentophobia;
The dentist, having identified a filing required on both the left and the right side, injected the left side and sent me back to the waiting room to await it taking effect, while he carried out another treatment and therby maximising his earnings.

Upon my return to the chair drilling starts on the right side. When I started trying to do double sumersaults in the chair I’m told that “this is diamond tipped, keep still or it will rip your mouth to pieces”

I point out his error at this point, “You injected the other side”. “Well I’m almost done so I’ll carry on”

That was some years ago but the effects have lived with me every day and still do.

Very important article, Chetan. I wrote a post a little over a year ago about a great resource that people with dental phobias should really check out…http://www.dentalheroes.com/are-you-afraid-of-the-dentists/

There is help – that’s one thing that I hope people with dental phobias will take away from reading your article. Thanks.
