The Dentists Office

   Today I had to go to the dentist to get some fillings. I was really nervous walking in because I knew that I was going to have to get a couple shots in my gums. After checking in and waiting for just a few minutes my name was called. I had to sit in a little room and the assistant got me ready like putting the paper in front of me getting my safety glasses and numbing my mouth with the gel type stuff so the right side of my mouth couldn't be felt. The gel really did work I couldn't feel my cheek and my lips and half of my tongue was numb. It was the most weird feeling ever
   After I was completely numb the Doctor was called in to give me the shots. By then I was a little freaked out. He said that I could try without the shot but I knew I would probably not be able to take the drilling without something. So he proceeded to give me the numbing shot and I felt a little pinch which wasn't as bad as I thought but one time he had to move the needle to a different part of my mouth and I definitely felt that one. once the anesthesia kicked in I wasn't able to feel a thing. The Doctor worked for a couple of hours and I was finished.Walking out I still was numb and I tried to eat some lunch and that didn't work out so well and I just got over the numbness about an hour ago and right now I wish I was still numb because the right side of my face is very sore now. I hope it starts to feel better by the time I go to class in one hour, but we will see.
