Just got back from the dentist for an upper front repair of an old bonding. Tried to have a nice cup of coffee. More on my shirt than in my belly.

Been there, done that. I've gotten hungry and would up chewing up the inside of my mouth more than the food too.

There is new stuff on the market so he can just deaden one tooth not the whole half of the mouth.You are also free to just forgo the anesthesia.

Sorry...girlyman here. I don't do mouth pain. I can wash the shirt.

Arthur has been there.

I did that once, reasons being (this was the late '70s) 1) I had cavities on both sides of my mouth, 2) the dentist didn't want to numb both sides of my mouth at the same time, and 3) I had a busy schedule and didn't want to take time for two appointments.

Oddly enough, I didn't repeat the experiment. One experience with 'natural dentistry' was good enough for me.

I am trying to transcend dental medical medication.
