F... the dentist

[firstdown]

Do you get Novocain or just get them to drill? The few times they have drilled I've passed on the novocain and it really did not hurt very much. I wouldn't "F" my current dentist but I would have "F" my old denist.

She shot me up twice. No way I could have gone with nothing. She said it was a deep filling, it's still sensitive even now a few weeks later.

Not sure why but having mine drilled without novocain has never really hurt. My dentist is from the old school and never over books his office. I don't think I have ever waited more then 5 min. and he does not do the rush you in and out thing. That was my old dentist which was hot but that was the only positive she had.
