The Dreaded Dentist

So this morning I went to the dentist to get a filling.

Now I am man enough to admit that I am terrified of the dentist, havent been to one in close to 9 years now, and suffice to say I am now making up for that :(

The dentist I go to is a very nice man, he is also a qualified hypnotherapist, you man laugh, but he is good, even though my mouth is really bad, he explained to me how they will slowly over time fix all the damage I have done over the past years.

So first up was a simple clean, that was a few weeks ago now, where I was given gas (AWESOME TRIP) and had my mouth cleaned, the experience itself was a little scary but Dr Steve helped me through it all.

Today was a little more daunting though, as I asked to have the procedure performed without the gas (GASP!). He numbed the front right side of my mouth (top) so that they could put in the filling. Soon as I saw the needle my eyes started to scream, I think he saw this cause he told me not to worry and it will only be a quick shot of pain then I wouldn't feel anything.

After he used all these different tools inside my mouth the task was complete and I was free to leave, although my face is still a little numb I can eat food, only cold non-solid food for the next few hours as I may burn or bite down on myself and I wouldn't know till much later.
