欧博allbetProblems having dental work if you have a
Ugh, frustrated again. He first gave ne two injections, to numb the upper and lower left side of my mouth. The upper area got numb and he fixed the top tooth (replacing an ol filling). Then he asked if the lower jaw/lip area was numb and I said no, actually, it's not numb at all. So he gave me a third injection, supposedly for the lower jaw. We waited and still the lower jaw did not get numb at all, but the anesthetic somehow went upward to the upper face area. So now I had 3 injections that all went to my upper mouth, which left my cheek, my whole orbit around my eye, and half my nose totally numb. And nothing went to the bottom of my mouth.
So he said I have to come back another day because the bottom didn't get numb. I told him he could try to just drill it anyway, as I have a high pain tolerance, but he wouldn't.
Now the kicker: it's somehow my fault this happened, because I have such a small mouth. If the angle of the syringe is just slightly off, it could send the anesthetic in the wrong direction, and this is more likely to happen with a small mouth. I'm thinking, this guy has to be an experienced dentist who's been doing this at least 30 years, and he can't get the syringe in the right angle? Sure, I may have a small mouth, but it's not freakishly small, and it's not like his hand had to be IN my mouth, it's just the angle of the syringe.
So my eye and nose and cheekbone area were numb until after 8pm. I was like "hey I've been meaning to get LASIK, now that my eye is numb, I don't suppose you can do that?"
So now I get the pleasure of going back to him again. I really don't think big hands are the issue, but his dexterity. It's not like his hands have to fit inside my mouth. There are skilled jewelers and watchmakers with big meat-hands, after all. I just have to make sure I don't schedule during his General Hospital again!
