Dental fun!
Jul. 2nd, 2008 12:12 pmJust got back from the dentist, and the left side of my face is numb and I've got that icky Novocain/post dentist taste in my mouth :P. And a shiny new temporary crown. Can't eat anything hard or sticky until I get the permanent one.
When I was getting the injection, I had pain shoot up my cheek at one point, and the dentist said my cheek went white. Apparently it's not unheard of, but I've had a lot of fillings, but I've never had that happen before. The dentist said my cheek might bruise. He doesn't think it will, but it sometimes happens. Basically I'd look like someone popped me in the face ^^;.
Oy. Now I'm hungry, but still numb.
