Q.
Ive just been to the dental hospital as i need to be sedated to get treatment, as i take panic attacks when i enter a dentist. My first visit went great and had one side of my mouth done. Today i went for my 2nd visit to get the other side done, which entailed 3 teeth out and 4 fillings and i had to get stitches also. When they gave me the sedation it never had an affect on me, i was aware of what they where saying and doing, i have a fear of needles and felt the 6 jags i received. In this time i started to panic and kept raising my hand as i could not speak due to my mouth being clamped, they kept telling me to put my hand down it would soon be over, but my heart was racing and i thought i was having a panic attack to continued to keep raising my hand for them to stop as i was not sedated, but they continued and kept putting my hand down. When they took me in the recovery room, i was upset and got straight off the bed as i was fine apart from shocked and scared, the dentist said he gave me the same amount of sedation as my last visit so it should have worked. But i explained why was i in obvious panic and aware of everything being said and going on and kept raising my hand to stop. But he gave no answer. Is this a correct procedure? as im more terrified than ever now and cant describe how horrific that experience was.
