I Must Be The Biggest Wuss


I had my teeth cleaned at my dentist two weeks ago. Well, turns out I also had two cavities. I just got back from getting those filled.

Ouch!!!! I know they give you injections and stuff so you don't feel anything. But it seems like every single time I get a cavity filled, my pathetic ass is wincing and raising my hand or trying to say, "It hurts!" (however possible that is with your mouth wide open and hands and tools shoved in your mouth) to my dentist. Because dammit, I still feel the pain!

I honestly have no idea what the inside of a tooth looks like. But I imagine my dentist drilling down the enamel and exposing all these super sensitive nerves (kind of like coral in the bottom of the ocean) that he then drills down, too, without realizing that the anesthesia must have missed a few of them.

Anyway, he gave me an extra shot probably because I complained too much. And now I'm at home trying to eat a Kit Kat. But instead I keep biting my tongue somehow and drooling down the left corner of my mouth.
