I had a root canal on an infected tooth. No numbing med would work.who's talking about childhood? after a dentist pulled a jaw tooth without Novocaine when i was a child, no way could momma get me into the car again to go to the dentist, she always threaten to make daddy take me,( i was to scared of him to argue with him, or run and hide) but no one took me to a dentist til i was 17 and broke a tooth, dentist used to give me a pill to take before the appt to calm me down
yep, to this day i hate to go to the dentist
