I learned today that I have extensive tricky dental work needed. I am very very nervous and he suggested gas to lessen anxiety (weak nitrous oxide). I begin on Friday. Has anyone had this experience? Does it affect IC? ANY info greatly appreciated....
I have had this in the past.
I have had this in the past. I dont think the gas is what made me flair it was more the novicaine and also they sometimes give you a iv with the gas or a coctail to drink. These things did flair me up. When I had my detal work some of my flairs lasted 3 days that was just with the novicane and when they gave me the iv coctail with gas I was in a flair for about a week. I doubt it is the gas the iv had soy suspesion. Make sure you get ALL the information of what they are using and see if there are any alternitives. Tell them your allergic to soy bc i didnt know that the drug was suspended in soy. Looking back they pulled my tooth there is no way I could have done it any other way. I still even with the flair would do it just the same but knowing there was soy might have been able to offer some alternitives. I told Matia once I found out she adjusted my herbs and bamb the flair was gone. So important you find out exactly what is in everything they give you so that she can help detox you after if needed.
Nicole. I so appreciate your

You could try a homeopathic to lessen your anxiety. They work well with no side effects. Most of them agree with my sore bladder.
Lolo what kind of work are
Lolo what kind of work are you getting done?
Oh, there is such a long
Oh, there is such a long history of dental problems and dentists' error and I have been holding my teeth together for such a long time. I had a lot of bone loss through gum disease many years ago and since then have had gum surgery, many root canals and several extractions. For the first time, through this treatment I have been getting healthier and the teeth are solid and I have been hopeful. However this past year brought a root canal and a threat of another. Matia's herbs turned the "other around" but examination revealed decay under every root canal, several unsalvageable and affecting the roots, so no chance of restoring. This week I go through a patching of undergum cavities on one side that looks MAYBE possible to save....All this has made me so nervous, am flaring and scared..so am considerng the gas. I may be facing some extractions later...and all that means....oh, I wish 'd looked after me teeth!!! Thanks for the homeopathic reminder. I could go with that,,didn't know it doesn't conflict with treatment, but feel I'd just like to be knocked out and get this all over with. Sorry ...have probably shared way more than necessary...but thank you for listening..
over the past yr I have had 9
over the past yr I have had 9 cavites removed an one extaction. I did this in two months time. The only reason I dragged it out was because I did try to save my tooth. Now when i was reading about reversal of tooth decay I read that the pain will subside with in days but the infection takes a month to work so that is what I gave it. Also if you read the book cure tooth decay by Ramiel Nagel it is a great book and might help you. It was worth my $20. even though I couldn't do some of the things because of the state my bladder is in.
Now when i got my cavites removed my dentist used a cold water laser approved by Matia although she is not farmialr I loved it. NO pain just anoying. My dentist office has an acupuncturist on hand and she put needles in for pain and anxiety too. I also used homopathics for this. Arnica to help heal and goldenseal.
Now when they did the extaction there was no way I was going to have them put a hole in my mouth and not go under. Matia agreed and I am so glad I did it. Looking back I wish I had done it all sooner. Had I not been freaked out about taking care of the cavites sooner I wouln't have needed to pull the tooth. I had these cavities for at least 2 yrs. The thing about them putting you under Matia can help you with all of that I really wouldn't worrie just make sure they tell you EVERYTHING they are using including any suspended oils the drugs are in. tell them you need details so that your dr can help you with any reactions you might have to recover from. Hopefully they are understanding. I just asked for the names of it all and did my own research online. I didn't realize about the soy untill after the fact when i did more reaserch as I couldn't understand why it was taking me so long to recover. Once Matia knew it was all good. I have to say you will more then likley be on ear or gold or both when it is over bc they are blood cleansers and ya got to get that stuff out. ;)
Dental work can be painful and it's not some regular anxiety so don't feel bad that you need to go under. You will be ok

I've had root canals and gum grafting. They aren't pleasant, so I know how you feel. That is a lot of dentistry to have done. The homeopathic remedy Arnica Montana helps with pain and trauma and is especially good after having work done at the dentist. It got me through the gum grafting with flying colors. Good luck
Thanks Clueless...arnica and
Thanks Clueless...arnica and rescue remedy at the ready AND also encouragement from you IC sisters
OH GOOD there not giving you
OH GOOD there not giving you anything with the gas. I always kinda liked the gas bc its a break and I never got scared about it. I wish they had just gased me. I got that when i had my wisdome teeth removed. This last time they knocked me out with all drugs eww for me. I think gas is cleaner less evil. I bet you will do great. I would totally take the arnica though bc you will be in less pain after. It's great for trama.
I did also do arnica to help
I did also do arnica to help heal it did help a lot. Actually better then a pain killer.Even when i was healing from my tooth getting pulled i used the arnica after for the first few days. I took some prior to going in each dental visit too. when i did the acupunture it was all in my ears. Matia said it was ok to do for the dental visit. I think if she wasn't there I would have had someone do it for me ahead of time personally I found it really helpful. I also brought headphones and put some medatation music on to keep me relaxed.
