I had a few cavities filled earlier this morning and one 2 weeks ago. Each time they have had trouble numbing my mouth. The first one they did not get it numb at all. I felt everything, from the moment the drill hit my tooth to them putting the filling in. They felt bad, but I insisted they kept drilling. I was afraid if they stopped to numb it more I would be late for work. This time they gave me 2 doses of the normal numbing substance. They started drilling, and I felt nothing at first. As they drilled deeper the pain greatened. Knowing I was in pain, and not wanting to go through with it, gave me some of the good stuff. This completely numbed my mouth, but the taste was horrible. After 2.5 hours, they finally finished. My cheek is swollen and I will not be able to eat for a few more hours yet. They fear I will either bite my tongue off or knock the cavity loose. I had number 32 filled 2 weeks ago and 1, 17, and 18 done today. Three of those teeth are my wisdom teeth and 18 is just a molar. The dentist asked after he had filled 32 and 1 and had already drilled 17, if I just wanted to get my wisdom teeth pulled, but I told him they weren't causing any pain and he was almost done filling them anyways. I got through it ok, I guess.
