Remember, last week, when I went to the dentist? Today was my first of several (probably four) appointments to fill those lovely cavities. This was the worst (and most expensive) visit that I will have to endure. But, guess what... it really wasn't THAT bad!
I had the top left back three teeth taken care of today - the last molar being the worst. The dentist wanted me to see the decay so he had me look every once in awhile and it was pretty disturbing. He basically had to hollow out my last molar (number 15 to be exact :) ) and then fill it. Gross.
I felt okay until as soon as the numbing started to wear off shortly after I got home - it was beginning to hurt so I took one tylenol and I was fine. A little sore for the rest of the day but otherwise, I was fine. I sure love a good dentist!
This picture was taken right after I got home and the left side of my mouth was still numb. I looked pretty funny when I spoke. John got a kick out of it, anyway. :) See how my left side (right side in the picture) of my mouth is drooping ever-so-slightly?
Don't I look so amused? :P
