My face was checked, and I was administered 3 spot injections of local anaesthetic the Dental Nurse then checked the area and decided on an x-ray as I was still in a lot of pain after the first injections. It was then found that there was an infection under the tooth.
However, rather than stopping the Dental Nurse decided to proceed, they went in with at least another three-spot injections of local anaesthetic and again wait and attempt to go ahead with the extraction. They then tested the area to see if I was in pain and I confirmed that I was.
Again they administered at least another 3 if not four shots of the anaesthetic which by this time had not had any massive effect. They then went to attempt an extraction but I was in so much pain that I asked for them to stop.
It was at this point that they finally conceded that the infection needed to be treated first and then I could come and have the tooth removed. I was prescribed with Metronidazole (400mg Tablets) and Amoxicillin (500mg Tablets) to deal with the infection and an appointment was then madeto proceed once more.
What concerns me about all of this is that when a tooth has an infection of any sort when it comes to extractions are not carried out until they are clear, so I ask this why did they continue to not only inject me with (too much) anaesthetic after it was clear that A) the infection was there and B) the first course of Anaesthesia was not effective.
I would recommend folks stay clear of this practice as it seems to be commonplace to do such shoddy and dangerous work.
