I went to the dentist Saturday because my left two wisdom teeth are biting a hole in the inside of my cheek…quite painful.
Anyway, I wanted to be sedated, but he said not only would he not have been able to do it that day, but it would cost me an extra $500 out of pocket because the insurance won’t pay for it, since it’s not necessary for pulling teeth.
Anyway, he said he could pull them all so I went ahead and had all four removed. I have been reading these horror stories about people who could only eat applesauce and mashed potatoes for two weeks after having their teeth pulled. I am happy to say that on day 3 of my recovery I am already back on solid foods.
This dentist was absolutely amazing…I didn’t even feel the FIRST shot…as in…the first one, the one that had no numbing beforehand. He gave me something like 10 shots and I only felt a few of them. He had all four of my wisdom teeth out in less than five minutes after the Novocaine was all done numbing me up.
He was really good.
