I had the most amazing experience at the Dentists here....don't worry my squeamish friends, despite the above warning, gory details will not be provided.
Last Tuesday night, I went in to have 1-2 teeth extracted (depending on what was happening and how I was going) and a post implanted into my gums - to eventually take a tooth on top. Needless to say, I was very nervous and a little more than apprehensive about how it was going to eventuate.
After a five minute babble from me full of questions and nervous chatter, I laid back in the purple dentist chair and was given an injection first off. Now injections here are different than at my dentist's in Katoomba. First of all, they warm the fluid and the needle, so you barely feel it go in. Secondly this dentist is very gentle and massages the gums as he goes along. (Throughout any treatment, he keeps asking if you are ok and does it hurt). Then I got handed a painkiller, and anti inflammatory and an anti-biotic.
To cut to the chase, the whole procedure was basically pain free....and included two teeth extractions and a post implant. I was expecting to wake up the next morning and be in pain, but it didn't and hasn't happened...and this is Friday. Still no pain.
Two days later, I was back and he put my real new teeth onto my old teeth- which now look like like a feral animals fangs! So if you think the plastic teeth looked good...have a load of these ones!
