My heart goes out to you re: sensitive af teeth. For some reason my mouth takes a while to get numb and I need 2 doses of whatever they administer with the needle. They never make me feel bad, and are actually really patient and understanding about it. They just check in and if I'm not numb enough, they give me more and then we hang out and chit chat until I start slurring my words and then we get to work, LOL.

I used to love going to the dentist (weirdo alert) but the dentist I went to on LI the year I lived there used the most intense cleaning methods unnecessarily (I didn't have gingivitis or periodontitis but he claimed I needed my teeth descaled over the course of 2 months as well as several fillings and caused bruising and bleeding) and didn't employ a hygienist, he did the cleanings and fillings alone. Anyway, one filling was crappy and caused further decay and the tooth ended up cracked, I could see the back of it moving when flossing. I had just moved to Norwalk by the time I realized what had happened (and the pain was getting worse) and had received a mailing from Dr. Chopra's office and thought I'd give them a try. I moved to a nearby state last year and still came back to Dr. Chopra every 6 months anyway because I feel like I can't trust anyone else now and I'm so thankful for her.
