Dental visit

I just came back from the dentist so he could tend to some cavities.  Have I ever said how much I detest going to the dentist?  Yes, I realize it is an evil necessity and I also realize many people spend many years to learn the various techniques of oral torture just so I can keep my teeth longer.  But damn, I hate having my cheeks and lips so numb I feel as if I'm in a wind tunnel facing the wind and my cheeks feel as if they are falling away from my teeth!!!  Then to have the numbness go up and under my nose is just not right.

The worst part of this is that I had to have both sides of my mouth worked on.  If you aren't familiar with dental lingo the numbering of teeth they start on the right side upper teeth and farthest back is #1.  So, I had 3 & 4 worked on because the cavity was between them where they touched.  Then on the other side the same thing between 12 & 13.  It sucks!!!!

I even took my little iPod so I could drown out the sound of the drill.  It didn't work.  Since the drill is causing such a direct vibration on your teeth it goes straight to the ear drum and you can't avoid the sound.  But, it did help take my attention away from what was going on and allow me to relax a little bit.

Well, I guess Dastard is out of luck tonight.  He won't get steak tonight, either.
