So…. I can’t feel half my face.
My dentist office called yesterday and said they had a cancellation at 10:00 this morning and asked if I wanted to go ahead and bump up my appointment, which I agreed to just to get it over with.
It is now half past noon and I still can’t feel half my face. The procedure itself only took about 30 to 45 minutes, but I needed another shot of anesthesia midway through (after they gave me two at the start) because I could feel the drilling. The dentist said it was deeper than he thought it would be because of its otherwise small size, but still nothing bad. So at least it’s done now. I panicked a bit when I first saw the anesthesia shot because damn, those needles are already sinister, and you’re pretty much helpless lying back in that chair like that, but otherwise, not too bad. Except for that bit where I could feel the drilling.
