I don't know why. I never have been able to, I don't think I ever will - and eventually I get tired of the pain of the needles and decide I am numb enough.
This is not just dental - I had 10 shots in my foot before they did minor out patient surgery, and while I can't say it hurt per se, I did feel the _pressure_ of the laser.
So I sympathize, fully. I can't imagine not being at least partially numb for dental surgery - I can get to the "pressure not full on pain" part with only pain when a tooth is pulled (ah, wisdom teeth I am glad they are gone).
