Don't get cavities?

My dentist has a staff of young hot chicks that rub their tits and upper thighs against you when they're prepping. It's no coincidence the guy gets 5-star google reviews from his male patients.

I never had a problem before I blacked out that time. It was the first time that he numbed me. He thought I had reaction to the anesthesia, but I think he injected me too quickly. My old dentist took his time numbing and I never had a problem.

I have a very bad gag reflex. I puked all over the place while sitting in the chair when I was a kid. Focusing on breathing through my nose helps and my current dentist encourages wearing headphones so I do that too if I have work done. There's not much on this earth I dread more than going to the dentist.
Never had a problem with the numbing or the numbing needle though. That's the easiest part IMO.

15mg valium with a side of benadryl. I'd rather not be aware of any of it.

My dentist prescribes Halcion to take before appointments. Works well for me.

Sounds like vasovagal response. I know a few people with that issue. They feel no anxiety whatsoever, but upon the site of a needle or thought of a shot, the heart rate slows and blood pressure drops and they faint or almost faint. They have to lie down and elevate their legs. I don't fully understand it, but it's some sort of involuntary response and is relate to a nerve, I believe. You can look it up.

I ask for a little laughing gas and a finger in my arse. Does the trick 37% of the time.

My dentist thought it was the epinephrine, so he switched me to an anesthesia without it. Haven't had the problem since. I never had a problem with prior dentists who used anesthesia containing epinephrine, which makes me wonder if it had something to do with how this new dentist injected me. By new dentist, I mean this was the first time this dentist numbed me.

When the assistant rubs her tits on me I instantly worry about not popping a chub and forget about getting a shot.
Also if you feel that shot you need to get a new dentist. I never feel the shot.

I have trouble staying awake in the chair. Have had more root canals than I can count (no bs). For whatever reason the dentist chair doesn't bother me in the least and I am totally relaxed. Had one root canal that took 2 sessions of 4 and 3 hours and another that took 4 hours. Talk about a sore jaw from the bite wedge.
