I took my daughter to the dentist today to get some cavities filled in, which upset her because she brushes at least twice a day. I told her that I did and do and still got all kinds of cavities.
When the dentist put in the Novocain my poor little girl jumped nearly off her seat even though the dentist did numb it. I was sitting in the room with them, so I saw everything going on.
The dentist started working on one tooth and had to stop because my daughter could still feel it. The dentist put in more Novocain. My daughter could still feel it. The dentist looks over at me. I tell the dentist that I also need a lot more Novocain than most dentist think I do, so she is probably the same way. As a child in the 70s and 80s dentist weren't known for caring about what I felt and never gave me enough Novocain. Yes, I did have a dentist phobia for awhile, why do you ask? Luckily, that has changed now or the dentist and I would discuss the reasons why you don't inflict pain on my child when it can be prevented.
My daughter finally got enough Novocain to keep most of the pain away. The dentist didn't want to give her too much more and have my daughter have heart palpations.
We went to get food on the way home and she was a bit upset by that, because she would have to wait to eat.
I took her shopping and that imporved her mood for the rest of the day.
