i have a lot of cavities, big ones, so i am scared to go to the dentist, i found this guy because he deals with people who are scared of dentist, and focuses on pain-less treatments. hehe.
most dentists don't like to take that much time to inject the anesthetic, they do it faster and it really hurts when they do it that way. when they inject it really slowly while messaging the tissue around the injection site, it makes such a big difference!!!!!! |
That's great to find a dentist that cares to that extent to make you comfortable! I'm sure it does make a big difference!

If you have that problem I HIGHLY recommend Articane...it's wonderful and works great! |
Novicane does work fine for me, I hate it, but it works fine!
I've never heard of Articane. It's really the feeling afterwards that I hate!
Having my mouth numb for hours on end!
