^^They are sedatives, the point being that while you're under their influence the Dentist could say they're about to cut your cock off and you wouldn't care. Having had a few root canals done (once was on 2 wisdom teeth at the same sitting over about 3 hrs) that's the hardest part of dental visits. For pain, a few G's of Ching on hand to administer directly to the site will do the trick .
