I just had a dental appointment. Three cavities: two on the upper left, one on the lower left, all to be dealt with in this appointment. An hour and a quarter from arrival to finish.
The left side of my mouth droops just a bit (darned anesthetic), my left cheek is lightly flushed, and the fillings are done. The one on the lower part was first and apparently deep; when she went to drill the first upper one, my hand went up immediately (their signal for 'stop that!') because I felt it way too much, as a sharp sting, on first contact.
Yes, indeedy, the anesthetic for the upper wore off. Which means that instead of three jabs in three locations, I got five jabs in four locations (as she extended the reach of the upper anesthetic and renewed it). Just ducky.
Other than that it went pretty well, till I was getting up to leave and she said she hoped the lower one didn't end up needing a root canal.
Yeah, apparently it was very deep. Thanks for the cheery thought, ma'am - I hope it doesn't too.
All in all, not a fun day. I signed out till 1 pm so I'm home to have some soup (safer than something I have to chew, given I still can't entirely feel my cheek).
Stupid teeth.
