Should anesthesia does not eliminate the pain?

Question:

Hi ..

I've been at the dentist to drill two holes for the first time today. I have never been drilled before, and therefore it was also the first time I was stunned.
I do not feel the anesthesia worked when I could feel almost anything, and it did really really bad, got chills, shaking very much - was simply the worst I've ever tried. My question is whether you think the anesthesia worked? Is not it supposed not to be able to feel anything?

I was pretty stressed afterwards, and found it difficult to talk while I was also quite shocked, so should just go home - that's why I had not talked to my dentist about it. But think it's a little hard to pay 500 kroner for the stunning, when you do not feel it has worked ..

Sincerely. Anne Camilla.

Answer:

Dear Anne Camilla,

If you had pain during treatment, your anesthesia is not working as it should. Of course it is supposed to be a pain experience to come to the dentist. I think you should have a talk with your dentist. Sometimes it can have an effect on anxiety anesthesia.

Hope you can use my answer.

Sincerely

Dentist Joan Olsen
