Rachel, I've never had an injection if me life at the dentist.
They always offer it, but I'm too scared to have it.

If you really need it then for an extraction they will do it.
I had to have surgery to remove a tooth splinter from my jaw and I had one injection for that.

Same with me except that I'm too tight to pay for it.
Having said that, I had to have injections when the dentist took one of my wisdom teeth out. Compared with the knitting needle sized syringes of yesteryear the injection was a doddle, and he numbed the gum first with some foul tasting spray. I guess dentistry has evolved from mere butchery.
