Stupid tooth.
So it hurt worse, not bad, but worse. Then I was in a meeting and I noticed that when I leaned on my hand, I felt it in my tooth.
Ugh.
So I went back in (she fit me in before her lunch break, since they were solid today), and she thought it was just the chip in the filling that she'd sealed yesterday, that she should've filled it.
So she etched it and filled it, and here's hoping that's the end of the problem. On the plus side, I didn't have to get a needle stuck in my mouth. It stung when the etching stuff hit the chip, so that at least suggests it's the right area. And the whole thing hurt awfully for a few moments when they rinsed it off with water.
They were willing to numb me, or not; asked what I wanted. Needles in the front of your mouth hurt. A lot worse than just a bit of cold water on a sensitive tooth.
Now. May I please not need to see the dentist 'til my next scheduled cleaning?
