So I just went to the dentist today. I had (gulp) three cavities. Interestingly enough, one on each top side of my mouth, and one on the bottom left. So you know what that means, 3/4 of my mouth is now in a wonderful state of numbness. And I think I failed to mention that she shot me up twice on the bottom left.
My tongue tends to roll around in my mouth, although thankfully it's so numb I can't feel it when I bite down on it. And my cheek keeps getting caught in my teeth (also numb!).
On the bright side, I think they removed three of the silver fillings that I had and put in nice shiny white fillings. And this dentist of mine is so technological. She was using all of these odd little contraptions, and even asked me if I would like a "mouth propper" to hold my mouth open!!! I declined, but how cool is that?!
Unfortunately the drill is still the same. My vote for the next super technological invention is a silent drill, maybe a painless drill too. Yeah, that would be nice. Or maybe a way to deliver those shots without a needle?
