guess who's been out from her first root canal for an hour now! still numbed

still slightly numb. also most of the temporary filling came off in one chunk. dentist said that crumbling was normal, hope that is too

Aw jeez.

thankfully it is covered by MassHealth! so the true pain isn't the cost

I am also fully unnumbed and can safely say that the most actual pain was getting the numbing shot. no pain during, no residual pain after

Good

Yeah, some of the places they have to put the needles to numb the mouth just hurt. I especially hate the one on the lower jaw that makes it feel like your tongue got shocked.

might try eating ice cream. was afraid to do so after getting the crown removed because the tooth was exposed and sometimes sensitive. but I'm not feeling anything from it now

can confirm, ice cream is just fine. which is good, because even though I already had sorbet I bought a while ago and hadn't touched, I was compelled to get a pint of a scoop shop's featured ice cream flavor based on mint chocolate sandwich cookie
