So, you may or may not (more likely) have noticed that my activity has been lousy lately.

 

Said event is due to getting an abcess and infection both on the same tooth, which sucks.

 

Tomorrow, I must sit in a chair, have an injection (shudder!) in my mouth and have the tooth pulled.

 

It sucks and I'm not fond of dentists.

 

Wish me luck in not biting him out of fear?

:shudder: indeed!

 

*comforts*

 

All the best to you... and here's wishing you good drugs.

good luck!

 

it's gonna be ok.... i had a tooth like that that my dentist, god rest his soul, tried to save... i had root canal once a week for 6 months... i would have dreams about pulling it out myself... i can still remember the relief....

 

oh, and nitrous - ask for it by name :)

I know those dreams. Those dreams save me a lot of money as well. XD

 

Expensive it may be, but I'll pay whatever it takes.

 

Thanks guys =)

Awh *hugs* it's the injection that's the worst part, but don't worry even I who have a phobia of needles didn't think it was too bad when I had some pulled once...didn't feel a thing when they actually took it out :)

 

And have an ice-cream after

That sounds like a good idea =D

 

I bit him last time, by accident XD He touched the tooth and pressed too hard so my mouth automatically snapped shut =/

i used to be really scared of the novocaine, but i started telling myself, over and over - no matter what happens, this whole thing is over in an hour, and no matter what happens, that stick is over in a few seconds.... as silly as it sounds, i sort of breathe through it, almost like they do on tv for lamaze, lol.... but it works. and it really is over fast. it's much easier than filling a cavity, imo.

dentist should know better than to poke an ouchy tooth. there's sharp things in there...

I'm only frightened because the last time I got injected by a dentist, she was so rough she bruised the whole left side of my face.

 

Safe to say I switched to geico a different practice =P

That sounds like a good idea =D

:O

 

 

oh dear... Lol!!

some of them are definitely not it for the shots.

Buen Suerte!

 

Does that suffice for "good luck?"

 

Don't die. Don't bite. Don't worry.

Good luck!

Thank you for all your support!

 

All done with now =D

 

Had THREE big injections though. That was the worst part XD

 

Took longer for my mouth to numb than it did to have the thing taken out.

 

Alistair McLeish comes very highly reccomended =D Had some good jokes with him XD

 

Me: "How big is that needle?"

Him: "About 18 inches, you good with blood?"

Me: "Blood I can deal with." ;-)

 

Also, before I went in a couple with SEVEN kids went in and all I could hear was the chair and screaming. Apparently they just had check-ups...

yay, it's over! :)
