My morning started with a two-hour dental appointment. I had to have my 'uppers' numbed, deep cleaned, and a few fillings. I am not usually one to flinch at pain, dentists, or appointments, but this one was really traumatic. The dentist had his wicked looking tools (seriously, don't they use those for torture too?) in my mouth for two hours, scraping, prying, drilling, filling, and poking the shit out of my gums.
The sound of scraping inside of my mouth was unnerving. I didn't numb up well the first six jabs with the needle and by the time I walked out of there, my nose and upper lip were completely numb.
He offered the mirror to me afterwards, and as anxious as I was to see it, I didn't have the where-with-all to manually lift my upper lip and take a peek-a-boo at my angry gums and newly filled teeth.
Now, they really do look great. But really,can someone tell me what sicko created a sanding tool that works like dental floss?
I am not looking forward to getting my "lowers" done.
