In middle age I am having the fourth go-round on a number of molars (fillings, then replacement fillings, then root canals, then crowns). All of my childhood fillings were done without anesthetic of any kind except whatever effect my death grip on the chair might have had. The first time I had a needle for freezing, it was an amazing revelation that dental work didn't have to be terrifying, but it's still not my favourite way to spend a couple of hours :)jenny_ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15475480579733466963noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-53855252943529388112014-02-03T09:53:56.772-08:002014-02-03T09:53:56.772-08:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17214384864958899935noreply@blogger.com
