Whee!

I just got home from a root canal! Now half of the visible tooth is gone replaced by a temporary filling. It feels funny.

So I get to the dentists office, sit in the chair, they give me 2 shots of lidocaine, and start drilling. Problem is, I (and my older brother) have this nice powerful resistance to aenesthesia and painkiller medication - so about halfway through, they hit something, and man could I FEEL IT. It hurt like the devil - they have to give me an entire extra ampule of lidocaine.

Anyways, after they were done, I started laughing cause the numbness felt funny - everything in a line from my ear to lower jaw was numb, and I couldn't help laughing.

So now even though my jaw aches, I cant stop laughing because the numbness (now gone of course) felt so funny.

I have a prescription for Vicodin now, which of course makes me want to watch some House.

That was my day so far.

I just had my wisdom teeth taken out - not fun.

I hate dentists. The worst part about the pain during a dentist visit is that it makes you uncontrollably turn away from the drill, and you get screamed at for being uncooperative :(

Mine didn't even grow out, despite the fact that they're trying to for over a year. I just keep them flooded by coke and other dangerous substances and they're a bit degenerate by now, half-way through in the gums.

I've been only once to the dentist, I don't care much about my teeth.

Sounds like someone's enjoying himself.

I also got half of my face numb when I went to the dentist a few years ago. I spent all day stretching my face without feeling anything :)

I'd be more worried about them drilling a whole through my other teeth if that happened.

I've been blessed with good teeth, so I can't say I know what you're going through. Sounds painful though.
