What it actually feels like

Accurately, not reassuringly

The injection is the worst part of this appointment and it is about ten seconds long: a scratch, then a heavy ache while it spreads, then nothing. We wait a full five minutes before touching the tooth — not two, five. Then the drill: a high whine and a feeling of pressure and cold water, and a smell you may notice. Pressure, not pain. If you feel anything sharp, raise your left hand and we stop. That is not a formality; it almost always means the numbing needs topping up, which takes two more minutes and is completely normal.

The stop signal

Raise your left hand and we stop — then, not at a convenient moment. If something feels sharp during treatment it almost always means the anaesthetic needs topping up, which takes two minutes and is completely ordinary. Saying so is not a nuisance and it is not being difficult.

Daylight through the surgery window.

Nervous about the dentist?

Turn this on and we will explain everything — what each treatment actually feels like, what the noises are, and how to make us stop. It stays on as you move around the site.
