I went to the dentist today and got a temporary crown on one of my back molars. While not an overly painful experience I would have rather avoided it. I would say it was my worst experience at the dentist office. It seemed like there was no amount of Novocain that was going to help me not notice the pain of them reducing the tooth near the gum line.
I managed to run a couple of errands on the way home and even had a nice homemade BBQ pork sandwich for lunch. Nothing like chewing on one side of your mouth. Three Advil's later and I still feel sore.
I agreed to go a baseball game tonight. I'd back out but I committed. They're also really great tickets.
My advice is to avoid dental work if at all possible. I brush and floss regularly but I'm going to make sure I pay even better attention in the future.
