Went to the dentist for three small gumline fillings. Not halfway through he asks his collaborating dentist "How'd they miss that one?" ("They"--i.e., him, it's a small practice.) OK, four.
"How about the teeth on the other side, that you were going to schedule later? We have the time now, save yourself a trip."
Uh...it took me years to accumulate the willpower to schedule this phase...but we may as well get it over with.
So eight small fillings in less than an hour. Upper lip still numb.
@ImagineThat Yikes! I know what you mean. Going to the dentist when I was a kid was not a pleasant experience. It stuck with me.
At least these days they have this stuff that matches your teeth, not that silver / mercury stuff.
Luckily, I've found a good dentist here. I hope he doesn't retire before I'm dead.
