I usually just get my teeth pulled with novicaine (sp) as I have really bad teeth, so I've had to get used to it! However, when I had my wisdom teeth pulled, and one regular tooth at the oral surgeon's office, he used a kind of "twilight shot" that knocks you out so you don't remember anything, and much easier than a general anesthesia, no nausea or anything, I would highly recommend this method, I think most oral surgeon's (at least where I live) use this method. It's much easier and safer for them, and it's FAST..they put an IV in my hand and I felt myself falling asleep in seconds...only problem, I woke up sobbing, I'm not sure why...speaking of phobia's, I am TERRIFIED of vomiting and vomit; it's a very troublesome phobia, especially having three small children, I was controlling it pretty well with compazine, I can deal better if I know that I'M not gonna puke, but for some reason my PCP just decided to cut me off of compazine, so I am now doctor shopping...in a real way!! anyway, just thought I'd let you know you're not the only one with a kind of odd phobia...at least you can control when you go to the dentist! LOL, I love the dentist, I actually just got a tooth pulled last night myself...I don't actually like going, I just like the "reward" (percocet) afterwards!!!
