Yes. Maybe consider giving a different block.

And I've one other question (that doesn't really fit in this thread though): most people believe that dentists have the highest suicide rates, would this be fact or fiction? If it does end up being true, could you please shed any light on why this may be?  I thought unappreciative patients might be one reason.

I'm not sure if this is still the case, but it would not surprise me if dentists were higher up the list than average. As mentioned above, stress of the job would be the main factor. This is due to a combination of patient expectations and responses, and also to the dentist's own expectations and desire to provide treatment of exceptional quality. On top of this, owners of the practice are also trying to run a small business with the usual staffing and logistical problems!
