I went to the dentist yesterday.
Got an inlay done, which is now ceramic and doesn’t require a 2nd visit. They take 3-D digital images of your tooth and have a machine that carves you an inlay right there in the office. It really wasn’t so bad. I mean, other than the chemical pina colada flavor of the topical numbing agent. Or the fact that I still can’t quite feel my cheek. Or the industrial strength epoxy they used to glue the inlay in place. Man, if I thought the novocaine was wearing off, I forgot all about it when I got a whiff of that stuff. It’s probably not legal to drive after smelling that.
And yes, I did smell a whiff of smoke when the dentist started drilling. But I survived.
Good job!
I hate going to the dentist… :-(
It wasn’t so bad… at least I don’t have a phobia of the dentist!
Oh, I hate the drilling smell! I try not to breathe when my dentist is drilling, I just hold my breath and then try to inhale/exhale quickly when she pauses.
I just try to breathe slowly. I don’t want to end up inhaling tooth dust!
