Yeah I heard that last year. Just trying to take my meds, and eat well. Small bites, chew in front, avoid crunchy stuff like chips.

A good dentist is the difference between pain and no pain.

Nitrous oxide and massive doses of Novocaine are the difference between pain and no pain.

Troof. I had all four wisdom teeth pulled at once, and went to work the next day.

For sure. my dentist is great and the least pain dentist I've ever had in my life. just sucks it took me 30 yrs to find him. He's fixed most of my previous dentistry F' ups.

I probably could have too. Except my company won't allow us to work while on pain meds. My job is Federal DOT regulated and we are OQ'ed for every task we do. basically DOT version of licensed for our jobs. We aren't allow to do OQ tasks (basically my whole job) while on any pain meds like I am on.

True... my current dentist swore his Novocaine injections wouldn't hurt. But I use to always have to get gas to get Novocaine. But he was right. Little numbing gel on gums before, then slow slow injection of Novocaine... no pain. First time EVER. He said the trick is, to take your time. Then if you ever feel ANY discomfort, raise your hand, he fixes it with more Novocaine or a different method of work. he's awesome.

And now I found a great oral surgeon too.

Depending on the work that you have done a good dentist will let you walk away with just minor discomfort, a bad one will leave you knocked out for days.

A good dentist knows how to do what might be harder, and takes longer, but causes extra pain vs going in for the kill
