Ear acupucture?: Have you considered auricular acupuncture?You can have a combination of small needles which remain in the ears for up to 7 days for a dental anesthesia protocol & an anti-anxiety protocol (auricular trauma protocol). Both protocols work quite well. Neither will sedate you. It is very safe. My acupuncture patients with painful dental post -op problems are finding it works better than narcotics.

General Anesthesia: General anesthesia performed by someone other than the dentist performing the tooth repair. This can be done as an outplacement at a hospital or with a dental anesthetist in a dental office. While it may seem expensive...The dentist can do a better job and the treatment can be completed in fewer visits actually saving you money.

You are not alone: People are anxious about going to the dentist for different reasons, cross infection, pain, money, etc. Share your fears. If you're stressed or anxious, tell your dentist and the dental staff. Explaining your concerns will let your dentist adapt the proper sedation, anesthesia and treatment to your needs.
