I don't know, but wish you the best!! Mom was actually told that it is better when at all possible to be drowsy and not out when a dentist works on you. If you are only drowsy, they tend to be more careful and there tends to be less swelling in various extractions and such. If there were a great chance of severe pain with something, they wouldn't give you the option. If you have a moderate pain tolerance, you should be fine. They may ask about knocking you out not because of the pain but because the sound or the thought of what they are doing can be terrifying to or create nausia in some people.

Again, wish you the best!!

Thanks.. I thought about the fact they might offer to be put out because of the thought of what they are doing. I plan on asking someone I know who takes nerve pills for one and take a half one before I go in...and I will go with Vicodine to take as I leave... I'm not waiting till I get to the pharmacy... LOL

I don't have a problem with someone working on my teeth/in my mouth and have had two root canals trying to save that tooth. I don't have an issue with the needles, I just think of it as they are doing what they have to do... but have to admit am a little apprehensive about this, but also sooo excited!
