In reply to the discussion: In tears today at the dentist. Getting a dental crown was extremely painful, even with local anesthesia... [View all]Joinfortmill

I don't understand having pain if you were injected with novacaine. Did he not offer to give you more since you

I was embarrassed by my reaction. I felt I should have been stronger and not waste his time.
