If it was a particularly useless, awkward child, that you didn’t really have room for?
Are you impugning my family sir? Or questioning my ability to provide for them?
Don’t gaps in other areas cause other problems? Doesn’t it make more sense to yank the ones in back?
Did I ever tell the story of my impacted wisdom teeth, that had to be broken apart to be removed? Didn’t they say I was just going to get a local, but then they knocked me out in the middle of the procedure and I only recovered memories of it weeks later? Why were all the hygienists giggling when I came to?
When I got mine out for the same reason, didn’t they keep me awake but keep missing any meaningful mark with the novocaine? Oh you feel that? Would you like some more novocaine in the wrong place?
Doesn’t that suck? Haven’t I had a couple of good dentists that always hit the mark, and some that can’t numb me up enough for a procedure if their life depended on it?
Wasn’t this a fairly respected oral surgeon that a lot of doctors went to though?
Would you say it was nice? Would you believe every professional novocaine dealer dentist I’ve had has had a lousy aim with novocaine? What’s it like not to feel a procedure? To not have unrelated parts of your face numb and tingly for hours and still be in pain? Do you think I could get a referral next time I need dental work?
More serious question, how does one stop fretting about unlikely or unimportant things?
Does one of you want to go back in time and tell my family dentist that novocaine is OK? How do I describe the look on my new dentist’s face when I was in college and told him that I’d had no numbing for any of the cavities I’d had filled up until then?
Can I borrow your time machine for the task?
Have you tried self medicating by binge watching a show you like?
Isn’t it a little late in the evening past even my weekend bed time to be starting a show up? Am I not only up right now because BBS forgot my place on the latest <insert health/emotional status> puppy thread (which I have an interest in because I write genre fiction and am trans and bi and like actual puppies) and I had to start over?
Super hot bath or sauna and a book?
Aren’t bubble baths the greatest? Won’t I settle for my bed instead? Will you all wish me good dreams?
Good night!
Is Gavin McInnes still an idiot?
What was with that edit?
Of all the days to wear the underpants with little red rockets on them?
Don’t root canals suck, on which ever teeth it’s on?
Alcohol? Drugs? Therapy? Self-induced traumatic brain injury?
Or is @hello_friends correct on bingewatching a show you like?
Aren’t they better than pain, though? And isn’t it cool that they still use gutta-percha to fill the root when they’re done?
And while we’re on the subject, what evolutionary advantage could there possibly be in making tooth pain so intense?
