*Gulp* Adventures in Dentistry Part 2
Oct. 20th, 2006 04:59 pmIt is now T-1hr. *gulp*
I got the final installment of Lyore's B'day loot yesterday, from the work guys. An Artoo-Potatoo and a Yoda backback. Both so very cute! And I only got a few strange looks when I unpacked them at the office. But the other techo understood perfectly. It's an engineer thing, apparently :)
I guess I can't put off leaving any longer, can I?
ETA: Yay! Teeth are gone! Face is puffy, but still numb. I got to take the teeth home - I feel like I should hold some sort of ritual sacrifice for all the pain they put me through. Any suggestions for suitable sadistic teeth-disposal methods? Although my parents said if I still have them when they come and visit next week, I might get a visit from the tooth fairy :) If the tooth fairy paid $175 a tooth, I'd break even on this little adventure. Hey, after all they ARE adult teeth, they have to be worth more :)
Lyore's Dentistry Tip No. 1: If they ask you if it hurts, and you feel anything at all, say yes. There is a time for bravery, and a time for anesthetics.
Lyore's Dentistry Tip No. 2: If you are at all squeamish, go for a dentist without glasses. 'Cause, you know, reflections and all. (I told my dentist that I saw the whole thing in his glasses, and he looked shocked and started apologising. He looked even more suprised when I told him it was kind of cool.)
( Possible TMI )
