I had to go the dentist this morning for a filling.

The dentist injected my gum with anesthetic to numb my gum before drilling.

Except the anesthetic accidentally went into a blood vessel.

The anesthetic travelled up my blood stream into my eyes.

I opened my eyes and everything was a blur.

I couldn't see anything. Then I started burning up and felt sick.

I told the dentist and his assistant that I couldn't see anything and I could hear the panic in there voices.

Then the dentist tilted me backward in the chair and put a cold flannel in my head to bring my temperature down.

20 mins later I could see again but can't focus my eyes properly.

6 hours later I'm much better but still not 100%

How's your day going?

Damn man, that sounds scary as hell. Glad you're starting to feel better, but that’s definitely not a normal dentist visit. Hope you’re resting up now and keeping an eye on it—might be worth checking back in if your vision’s still off. My day’s been chill compared to that, just grinding through work. Hope you bounce back 100% soon.
 
It's not a usual resposne but it could be happened because anesthetic agent entered your bloodstream it shouldnt have happened or it could be a vasovagal ! Usually it goes off when the drug gets metabolized . Nothing to worry about.

Cheers mate.

Yes I'm just chilling now watching YouTube on the TV and documenting my experience with all of you.

It seems nobody I've spoke to about this has even heard of it happening.

It must happen very rarely.....

That's good to know. The vasovagal.....isn't that a nerve?

its a response ! Many people have it . Probably you would have heard some of your friends or people you know get dizzy /faint when they give blood for bloodwork . But i feel what happened in your case is either vasovagal but blurring of vision doesnt add up, so most likely the agent entered into blood stream I cant comment on that as i was not present there depends on what they given .

Man that's really scary. I hope you are fine. Really this was what could go wrong situation in serious mode.
 
That must be a terrible experience. I've never heard of anything like that before. I'm going to be even more afraid of going to the dentist after this. Get well soon.

Interesting.....yes I definitely couldn't see anything.

I tried to focus my eyes but couldn't.

Your knowledgeable about this....do you come from a medical background?
 
Good that you're better now!

Damn, now I'm even more scared of going to the dentist. Jeez.

You don’t have to be scared. Just don’t go to a cheap one and your problem is half solved already.

This must be one of the most terrifying thing. Imagine if it somehow lasted for far longer, making you think you've gone blind for real?
 
Dentists are mostly a scam - you go to the average dentist, there's a fairly high chance they miss something &/or underperform. Best treated as a last resort, managing your own oral health is definitely high up on the things to learn asap list.

Sorry, I didn't think of this tbh.

It's very rare, it happens (so I've even told)
