Ouch!
I had a cavity filled at the dentist for the first time in a couple of years. I recently switched dentists in order to see one closer to my house, and I guess it takes them trying a certain dose of novacaine to find out how much each person needs. After one shot and some drilling, I could feel the drill — something I don’t think I ever remember feeling. I clenched up in pain, and they asked me if I could feel it. I nodded vigorously! The gave me a second shot of novacaine. At least I had the nitrous to keep me relaxed. It was just one “two surfaced” cavity in the back of my mouth, but it seemed to take a long time — probably because it was in the back of my mouth. It then took four hours for the novacaine to wear off. I go back for more, unfortunately, on October 11th. But hopefully that will be it for a while.
The only good part is the interesting experience of listening to ones’ favorite music while on the nitrous oxide — it is a rather trippy experience! If you’ve never brought your ipod/cd player/mp3 player along while getting dental work done, I highly recommend trying it for a slightly better experience.
Ha Ha! I had to go to the dentist today, and He said I should get my wisdom teeth out pretty soon. I told him I wasn’t afraid of him because the worst thing that he could do was hurt me, which he did.
