Symptoms:

Numbness and tingling in my face. Both sides.

Slight tingling in finger tips.

Mild intermittent sinus headache.

I had this for about a week off and on.

I finally thought, "Gosh I hope I'm not having a TIA!"  That thought made my BP shoot up and I because super anxious which didn't help at all!!!  I called my Dr.

He saw me the next morning.

In the meantime I realized that this first started after my last dental appointment.

The tooth she drilled was upper back and nerve roots near my sinus cavity.  Also, of course. I had lots of Lidocaine.

Well, the Dr. said no TIA (thank goodness!)

He thought it had to do with the dental work.

Of course, since then I've had no further symptoms.

I see my dentist again in 3 weeks.

I drive myself nuts!

Has anyone else out there had anything similar to this??

I Lived Through Another Dental appointment!

I had a follow up appoint this afternoon and another cavity DRILLED √√√√  !!!!!!!!!!

Wasn't tooooo bad although she had to give me some extra Novacaine!

I was an anxious wreck but lived through it.

I Have Dentophobia!

It's true.

I've had it all my life.

Probably stems from terrible, non-kind dentists when I was little.

The kind of dentists that should have never had children as patients.

In fact, my sister bit one of them and wasn't allowed to return!!

Anyway, I have found a woman dentist in the past 10 years that is really nice and I must say she has never hurt me.

HOWEVER, 

I still have a fear of dentistry!

Usually, a trip to the dentist, involves a bad toothache!!

Yes, I wait that long!

I'm Bad!

Well yesterday sometime, I lost a filling and got a toothache up into my sinuses.

Ouch!

So I made the call and went to the dentist's office this morning.

She fixed the tooth but I have to go back in a week and have the permanent filling put in and have another cavity fixed.

And she hasn't really examined and x-rayed my whole mouth yet.

This could go on and on till I go crazy or run out of money!!

Yikes!
