Back from Dentist
I had to have some fillings done and all I could think about while I was having my fillings done are the dentist’s hair nostrils. I count how many are white and how many are black. After I’m done counting hairs I suddenly feel uncomfortable having someone look so close into my mouth. I get tense as he starts his dental drill. I hear the dentist tell his assistant “yalla suction please” then he talks to me, all I could do is nod my head because no way I can speak with all that stuff in my mouth, which makes me wonder why dentists start up a conversation with their patients when their patient’s mouths are full and numb? The moment he says “amalgam plz” I feel a huge relief because I know that he’ll be almost done with his fillings. This dentist is sweet and funny but even that won’t change how I feel towards going to see him again.

you know, i had a broken filling in july this year aand i had to do it here in Rochester,MN. i had an injection of anesthesia without numbness of the jaw, but only the tooth itself, my heart went actually very fast during the injection [the doctor told me this will happen beforehand anyway], . i must say it was exceptional experience.
