Anyone Get Cramped Up In The Dental Chair?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question ๐Ÿ’ญ

Today I went to the dentist for a temporary crown. First I was in one chair so they could take a picture of the tooth before beginning work. My neck began cramping up so the dental assistant brought me a small neck pillow. So much better. Then I was moved to another chair so the dentist could begin working on me. Halfway thru the drilling I had to raise my hand. He stopped, and I turned my whole body a little sideways as I was getting a cramp in my side! He proceeded and every was OK. Geezeโ€ฆ read more

My dentist also does the hygiene but she insists on using the water jet method which I canโ€™t handle. Before I had a hygienist that did cleaning by hand no water. It was better

Anyways this last time the dentist had an assistant stand by with the air thingy to scoop up the water: went much better
This new dentist is asking me to get an electric brush vs by hand citing itโ€™s a better clean and doesnโ€™t
push the gums back

I always tell my dentist and hygienist that I have fibro
They are so understanding and tell me to get up and move around if I have to...I also bring my ear buds and listen to music... It really helps block out the nasty sounds and relaxes me too ๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’•๐Ÿ’—

I always struggle when getting my teeth cleaned. Despite having a mouth guard my teeth are so sensitive so the water jet is so painful.

Also, sometimes I actually have trouble closing my mouth after the hygienist is done. Does anyone else have that problem?

I've also had extensive dental work done. I believe a lot of the damage in my mouth was due to dry mouth which contributes to tooth decay. I've been diligent in keeping my mouth moist with gum or sugarless candy in the past few years.
