I have Lupus (autoimmune rheumatic disease). Which anesthesia can be used

[Sui Lin]

safely during a dental surgery? I have been to the dentist (a very good surgery specialist) only once since I was diagnosed with Lupus. It was the pure horror, the anesthesia they used stopped working in the middle of the surgery and I started screaming from pain. They did not wanted to believe me, only eventually, after 30 minutes of crying and begging did they let me go!
I was not to the dentist since then (for several years). But my teeth are not really good, not to mention this surgery which was stopped before they could finish. I have frequently tooth ache and pains, but what can I do? I fear this will happen again, and if they use 100% anesthesia I may die in the process? It seems I get one of the typical Lupus reactions due to the medicaments used.

But if I do nothing my health will become worse rapidly. I have sometimes fever at night and all my teeth ache. I am getting weaker and weaker, please help! Even my doctor does not know what to do and my dentist never heard about Lupus!
