Agreed.

The freezing doesn't always work for me. If I say "hey, I can feel that" the second dose might work, and it might not.

What happens next is that they slow down, and while this sounds like compassion, it also lengthens the time they're drilling into my head while I can feel it.

Just building up a resistance to physical torture. Bring it on, movie CIA guy.

I think a quick, very intense filling might be better than a long, slow one.




I may be weird about this, but for me when I've been drilled (or even cleaned) and experienced tooth pain the level is 100%. I can't feel more pain.

I'm certainly not advocating that dentists don't do their best to numb patients before drilling. What I'm saying is it's fairly likely that by the time they can stop the machine in the case of pain the procedure will be nearly complete and the pain over.
