So this is the thing. I went to the dentist on Tuesday with a severe toothache. After they took an xray and couldn't find anything, they decided to drill. Well, my tooth turns out to be a hot tooth. This means that no matter how much novicane they inject, the nerve refuses to numb up. So after three shots and two drilling attemps, the dentist decides to send me to the specialist.
The specialist injected three shots of novicane right at first. He left me for about ten minutes and came back and clamped a thing-a-ma-jig to my tooth. I could feel it so he gave me about five baby shots around my tooth. Then he started drilling out the filling the dentist put in, I could still feel it. He then put two more drops of numbing juice in my tooth. It finally worked and the nerve was numb. I felt so much better after that. It was miserable before.
I am starting to get the feeling back in my tooth, but now my whole mouth aches from the proceedure. Well, he said that will go away in a day or two. The moral of the story is that when your mom tells you to brush your teeth, for crying out loud. DO IT!!!
