I went to the dentist today and had two crowns put in. I tried to be hardcore, but it hurt. I ended up having three shots of novocaine.
Having two people and four hands in my mouth makes me really nervous. I started to panic a bit because the hygienist was squirting my teeth with water while sucking the water (very talented!) and yet some water would sneak down my throat. I kept feeling like I was choking AND -- here is the dumb part. I was worried that it would hurt so I began to panic even more... Needless to say, my chest got tight, my jaw got tight.. It was a horrible experience. I'm a huge fan of this dental practice, though. Everyone is amazing. All of my issues today were just me being me.
It took about 3 hours total and I'll go back to have my permanent crowns put on instead of these temporary crowns.
I have been home for 6 hours and my jaw feels a little like someone sawed it off and poked it with glass, so I'm not in the mood to be a cute, witty blogger today.
Check back tomorrow and I might be interesting again. Life is a gamble.
