Not just nervous, completely pretrified

thanks for the replies guys, I go back tomorrow for "stage 2!"

Im hoping then that it was the infection that stopped it working as well as it should have done, I really was a bag of nerves tho, that can't have helped.

As for the sedative, im 100% convinced, even after 2 weeks ago, i'd rather feel pain than take it!

well that was a distinctly better experience, "lots got done" today apparently, and I just have to go back in 2 weeks to have the temp tooth removed and the proper crown put in.

Had no pain today at all, which I was surprised at, but when i knew/felt they had already filled the bottom back of my tooth I relaxed a lot as I knew that's where the pain was and they were not near it and wouldnt go near it... so I guess relaxing was the secret.

Actually, there was a "ouch" moment, one of the assistance holding my lip back pinned my lip against my teeth so i was kinda biting into it... ouch...
