elfsSome of my friends are off to Crown, but I'm not in the SCA. Instead, I got a crown this morning-- two hours in the dentists' chair. Ouch. My whole mouth is numb, and my tongue is already starting to hurt.
Y'know what's most disturbing? When he pulls out the cutting drill and begins working his way through the old tooth, and there's this smell of burning bone in the air. It's horrible. I don't think any other aspect of the experience is quite so bad as that. Not even the octocaine injections.
Yes, that's what it said on the side of the syringe, Octocaine. Now, I'm thinking that it's a terrible pun: confusing the "nov" meaning "new" with the "nov" meaning "nine," but do they really want their product to be considered "one less than novocaine"?
Anyway, the temp is in, and we'll see about the permanent in two weeks. Joy.
