Avatar n tn I had #30 extracted Sunday before Thanksgiving. Two days later I was in the dental chair with a lot of pain. The dentist changed my antibiotic to something stronger and cleaned out the area a bit. On Saturday after Thanksgiving I was in the dental chair again. My gum around the area was so swollen and sore. Felt like infection was trying to get out somewhere. The dentist opened up the extraction site, cleaned it out, packed it and told me to continue with antibiotics.
Avatar n tn Dental freezing does not freeze my mouth, no matter how much needles they inject. The dentists have also made different mixtures of the anesthetic but nothing works. There are many in my family with this same condition. I have been put under to do fillings and root canals because I am terrified to sit on the chair to receive what I call "required torture".

Avatar f tn Last week, I had an episode of fainting, I woke up feeling faint then walked few steps before feeling weird and sweating then everything turned black.

Avatar f tn I am concerned about some fainting that has gone on in the past year, and will be seeing my doctor soon, but would like to see if I can calm my nerves about my symptoms beforehand.
