l have just sat through another hour and a half of complete torture. For some reason, l do not completely numb in my bottom jaw.

l have read up on it and it appear that every one in a hundred people share this problem with even less suffering from complete anatomical variation.
Since l am now on dentist number three, l can only assume l am one of the latter.

My reading has led me to discover that a Gow-Gates Block or a Akinosi Block will do the trick, but it is a specialist, advanced technique.

My question really is, does anyone know
a) what l am talking about
b) of any practices in the East of England capable of performing such a technique.

Thanks

I've never heard of that Pasha but hope somebody has the info you need. Suffered pain myself last time, and now having to dope myself up with valium because l am on edge about the second treatment and more pain. Damn dentists should use sedation if you want it but everything to cut costs.

A well qualified dentist should know about the Gow Gates block. Discuss this with your next dentist so that he or she knows your concerns.
