How Do I get Adrenaline Free Injections at the Dentist?

[Guest guest]

I had a broken amalgam filling replaced last August so I took the opportunity to

have a white filling put in. I had a bad reaction to the injection, racing heart

and feeling generaly panicky and wound up, and it didn't work properly and made

me feel the pain more, not less so I had to have another injection. By the end

of this I felt dreadful. Although I didn't enjoy going to the dentist in the

past I wasn't scared, but I am now.

I have mentioned to the dentist about the adrenaline in the injections and

thyroid/adrenal people not being able to tolerated it, and I did ask about

adrenaline free injections, but she was a bit vague and acted as if she didn't

know what I was talking about and said something about all the injections being

the same.

Unfortunately last night I think I cracked this new filling and am in pain so

I've made an appointment for tomorrow morning and I'm definately not looking

forward to it. I know some other members have had similar problems with the

injections and I wondered what you can suggest I say to this dentist to make her

take notice/be a bit more co-operative?

Thanks,

Louise.
