“Just a couple of stings.”  He said as he injected the Novocaine into my mouth.

     “Ow ow ow ow ow.”  I said without much enthusiasm.  I know that good dental hygiene is important for heart health.

     An hour and half later, my roots were planed and teeth were scaled on one side.  I felt nothing.  I have to go back next week to be tortured again and get the other side done.

     I hate when the Novocaine reaches the ‘I’m going to make you itch but you can’t feel anything to make it stop’ cycle begins.  That happened around six last night.  Thankfully, it is soon followed by no itch and normal feeling again. 

     However, there is that pain in the injection sites that is always a drag.  Thank goodness this is only the second time in 7 years I’ve had this done.

   You all have a good one.
