I have a fat lip. Really, the whole right side of my face is bloated and I can’t feel anything. This is what I get for going to the dentist. Well I really didn’t have a choice. The filling from a tooth cracked and so it needed to be replaced. But instead of just removing the old filling and replacing with new, I needed to get a crown which was 3 times more costly. In any event, while getting my mouth ready to replace the temporary with the permanent crown, I needed to be injected three different times. I kept failing the cold water test. At one point, the dentist joked he would have to put me under local anesthesia. Normally, I would joke right back but I really didn’t think it was funny. Then during the procedure, which was supposed to be really simple, my tongue became uncontrollable and kept getting in the way. Thus requiring three people holding various tubes and dental appliances in my mouth. The whole episode was perhaps the worst I’ve had in a dentist chair. I got up feeling cold, shaky and totally disoriented. Here’s hoping I don’t have to go back anytime soon. If I hadn’t been going to my current dentist for 6+years, I’d probably be looking for a new one.
