I have a pretty high pain tolerance for most things. When it comes to teeth, I can deal. Dentists just... never believe me. XD;

"Trust us, it will hurt too much."
"That's okay, I'll go without freezing. I'm sure."
"...okay."

And then I'm fine through the whole thing. I mean, it'll hurt, yeah, but at least I chose to deal with it myself so I don't complain. (I complain like hell if it hurts in the SLIGHTEST when they insist on freezing me though. There's a reason they're putting the freezing in and damn if I'm not taking advantage of it. <_<)
 
The one time I had a cavity I had to get the freezing. It was so annoying, I couldn't drink anything for the rest of the day. :[

Oh god, I hate waiting D: I just had another physical to be approved for something else, but while I was there I had to wait for 30+ minutes just for the doctor to come in, then another 45+ minutes in my boxers for him to come back and actual give me the physical. Wtf D:

No, they just go "oh whoops we didn't put enough on, lol" and add more. :( Though honestly I think it's just because they don't wait long enough for the freezing to actually settle before they start drilling. So then when they add more, it just compounds the effect instead of helping (since by the time they finish adding it, the original freezing has usually kicked in).
 
What's freezing? o.o
You mean like numbing or laughing gas? Laughing gas is what I love. You just feel so outside of yourself that you forget someone's pulling out your teeth or drilling them. =w=
 
When I was younger, I got sealants on my teeth to prevent cavities. Apparently they did them wrong because they came off over the last few years, there were two cavities underneath them. ;-; I couldn't do anything about it because my brushing couldn't touch it because of the sealants. So the things that were supposed to prevent my cavities caused them.
 
Fortunately, I don't have any cavities. I have had four teeth pulled out along with braces for awhile...they were my canine teeth too. ;o;
Luckily I don't need my wisdom teeth taken out now.
 
I got my wisdom teeth out a few years back. Being knocked out for it was pretty cool, if not very, very disorienting.

I hated it because I was already immune to the painkillers they gave me. I had to go back for two different prescriptions after that because things weren't working. <_<
 
I'm not so fortunate. I've had a few teeth pulled, braces for a few years, and now I've got permanent retainers on my top and bottom teeth. Plus the wisdom teeth the other year. :B It makes flossing such a pain.
 
the last time I was at the dentist I had one cavity that they had to drill out, they had to shoot my gum 4 times with the Novocain or whatever they used because it didn't work. And of course after they were done it didn't wear off for like 6 hours. (It feels really strange eating pizza and drinking milk while half od your mouth is numb)
 
It's hard to talk when your face is numb. XD; I had work after my last appointment and of course, I was answering phones and I was slurring words everywhere. Luckily it had worn off enough to let me speak somewhat clearly within an hour or so but... still. It was so bothersome.
 
I don't find I have that much trouble speaking with a numb face. Or maybe I just have a distorted version of what i actually sound like. I should record myself speaking next time I get a filling. :P
 
Well, overall it's not that much of a problem, but it's still hard to articulate perfectly. I probably wouldn't notice it normally, but since I was working phones, my job was to speak clearly so... I did definitely notice. XD
 
I had to hold my mouth shut while eating when I was numb. (considering I had almost 4 times the usual amount of the numbing drug in my mouth, I guess I should be thankful I only had to do that.)
 
Yeah, I guess so. :P Usually I get my fillings at the school dentist so most of the day I don't do much talking at all (being classes for most of the day), so I guess it would be harder for me to notice.
 
You have a school dentist? :O I've never heard of that before. Doctors, yeah, but not dentists. (Not that I've ever been to a school with a doctor.)
