Dentists

I've got a great dentist... not an easy thing to find.

He got a little carried away today though. Froze half my face. It's still wearing off.

The stupid part was when they handed me a cup to rinse... I couldn't feel my lips... how do I keep my mouth closed to swish?

I think worse is when they don't numb you enough before they drill. Yowza!

Novocaine's fun...watch someone try to smoke while still numbed up. They can't get their lips around their cigarette. :wah: I couldn't even get my mouth around a straw once. I looked ridiculous dribbling soda all over myself.

My mother won't let them freeze her mouth, she can't stand the numbness. She just lets him drill without any freezing. Don't know how she does it.

I am terrified of dentists,I once had one take out six teeth because of gum disease before the anesthetic took hold,I felt it all and was reduced to tears what a bastuard

that sucks.

I wonder what the stats on fear of dentists is. I think it's pretty high on the list.
