    …there are dentists who offer anesthesia as a fun little option if you think you can’t handle the pain?

    …excuse me.

    …WHAT.

      Not as a fun little option, at least not here. If you’re too scared of the dentist to the point of panic attacks (anxiety can override rationality) then you can be put under for the procedure to reduce emotional trauma and even to prevent hurting yourself.

          I had to go for it because I’m very resistant to painkillers, so I would have felt every bit of my dental work. Which would not have been enjoyable for anyone lol
