Title: Dentist's effect on toothache
Post by: Stoday on December 28, 2009, 05:23:04 AM

Toothache started on Christmas day. So I suffered on Boxing day, and the following Sunday, thinking I could go to my dentist on Monday. I was devastated to find that Monday's a holiday so I had to go to an emergency dentist.

By this time, having suffered for 2 1/2 days and even having taken acetaminophen (paracetamol in the UK) to the safe limit I was still in agony. Then, when sitting in the emergency dentist's chair, all the pain disappeared. I could understand that if I were expecting the tooth to be pulled, but I wasn't. I got what I expected, a pack of penicillin to take to get the inflammation down before surgery on the tooth. Yet I still lost the pain during my dentist visit. It returned afterwards, I might add.

I just wondered if others have noticed the dentist chair effect too.

I've had this happen recently when I had have a filling replaced. I asked the dentist, he just said "It's probably psychological." and it it go at that.

Nothing ever goes right when you want it to.  Or in this case wrong.
