dentists must be a hoot at parties
so i finally got a temporary crown put on the broken molar, which is both a relief, and rather disturbing as there is a tooth there that i know is not MY tooth. its like a zombie tooth.
still, it was wonderful catching up with my dentist, to whom i have consigned my teeth for the last 20 years or so. as i sat in the chair, waiting for the procedure to begin, a lovely turkish lady named "ozzie" (i kid you not) hooked me up to a water spigot, a suction hose (and what a strange, yet not entirely unpleasant sensation, having your tongue vacuumed is - ed) a machine that goes *ping!*, six cotton sponges to line my gums and a bite guard. then i got not one, but three injections of anasthetic. it was when i realized that my lips no longer were under my direct control was i ready for the dentist.

dentists are such sociable creatures. i can even forgive him for the zombie tooth.

Yes, I hate that..mouth being numb that is..for 20 hours in my case...just because I had 2 extra teeth 5 years ago that had to be pulled out...novacane, they didn't quite use enough of it, so I felt part of their "process" of pulling out my teeth, then they injected too much, and my mouth was numb, i kid you not for at least 20 hours...Fun day that was...;)
I have absolutely no idea how they fit all of that stuff in your mouth at once...
I know, I know, I shouldn't sound so enthused about the dentist huh? :)
Sigh ...
I am soooooooo dissapointed that you didn't get a grill.... and it would have been so becoming.

I started an argument with a dentist a couple of years ago, which is never a smart thing to do.
His perfect strategy was to get his tools into my mouth and keep them there while he repeated HIS side of the argument over, and over, and over again.
By the time I could speak again, I was way too steamed up to say anything at all.
Could we have more writing please? Where did she go?
