I have recently visited my Dentist for 2 implants on jawbone to replace failed molars.
My general experience of dental work is the stress induces more tremors, and greater saliva leading to more spluttering etc.
II was offered ‘sedation’ to try to circumvent above issues, and indeed it did… but for a week afterwards the side effects were dreadful, mostly muscle cramps and pain all round the torso I was really quite poorly.
It has mostly gone now, but I felt a post here might forewarn some, I’d suggest a consultation with your professional PD advisor could be time well spent beforehand to consider if you want the rock or the hard place

Thank you for this Tim_Goodman. I’ve got a dental appointment coming up shortly and think it is likely implants mqy be offered as an option. Your post was very timely and I will certainly look into it a bit before my appointment.
