I actually had my tumor gnawed out by a rabid ferret. No novocaine is pretty badass too, I guess.
My dentist as a kid was against painkillers. It sucked.
I got a filling in Berlin and the dentist asked me if I wanted anaesthetic, instead of assuming that I did.
Typical.
I got a filling in Berlin and the dentist asked me
"... is it safe?"
I've never had a cavity.
Wait till you lose your baby teeth.
So much better than having a numb mouth for hours.
Numb mouth is awesome for, um, maybe I'll stop right there.
Each of my teeth has a cavity, out of which springs a chompy robot tentacle.
Each of my teeth has a cavity
I guess that's better than each of your cavities having teeth.
I'm counting the ChoRoTents as teeth, for these purposes.
I already get that look for being awake when I got my wisdom teeth out. I wasn't about to skip breakfast, and I got legal nitrous as an added bonus! Seriously, where's the downside?
Look over yonder.
Well what do you know?
Seven bad teeth in a row.
Down in the mouth,
where there's no place to go.
They already have cavities
(thirteen or so).
But these teeth aren't so bad,
like me and like you,
they just need a cleaning
and something to chew.
11: I wish I could have done that.
The day I found out that my dentist no longer had nitrous was the saddest day I've had in a very long time.
You know, you can get nitrous pretty easily at a head shop or kitchen store. You can even get it sent to your door.
Yeah, lack of nitrous wasnt my problem --- I just got aghast looks when I asked if they could do it. Then I had a good look at the xrays.
I'm 32 and have never had a cavity.
In five minutes every tooth I have is going to fall out of my face and clatter against my desk.
I had a filling where the dentist supposedly gave me fast-acting novacaine. I told him that it wasn't working so great, so he gave me some more. It didn't seem to be terribly fast-acting either.
I wasn't in much pain, but I definitely felt the drilling. Then, as soon as he was done, my mouth went totally numb--extra numb, no doubt, because of the extra dose. I can't be all badass and say that I've had dental work done without anesthesia, but I did manage to have the worst of both.
Robust, I'm surprised. I thought you were as old as the Apostropher.
I had my first cavity fairly recently (in astronomical terms), like at the age of 31 or 32. Does anybody else go to sleep when they are getting their teeth cleaned by the dental hygienist? Something about that scraping just totally lulls me to sleep.
15 -- are the ærosol bottles of whipped cream also charged with NO?
20: yes, and if you let them settle for quite a while you can just inhale all the nitrous from the top. I used to do that on sundae day at my highschool. my stepdad's awareness of this fact led to a little pissy dribble of cream coming out whenever you tried to use a previously-opened can of whipped cream.

You know the true sign of a master prose stylist? When, despite your absolute understanding of the context, they still manage to nearly induce a hurl...
I had my first cavity at age 30 in one of my wisdom teeth. Which I'm keeping, thank you very much. (The teeth, not the cavity.)
Robust, I'm surprised. I thought you were as old as the Apostropher.
We are fraternity brothers, but he had graduated by the time I got there. That said, he has a lot more hair than I do.
I also still have my wisdom teeth and have no plans to let any crazy-ass people remove them.
I rather enjoyed being knocked out for my wisdom teeth. I wish that could be done for more procedures. What I did not enjoy was finding out that vicodin makes me hyper and jittery and manic. I was looking forward to all that sleep.
Wanna see something hilarious? Go to the Midwest, get your wisdom teeth taken out, and then in a follow-up visit discreetly pull one of the middle-aged nurses aside and ask her how long until it's safe-ish to give your boyfriend a blowjob without a condom again. Watch her lose her shit and almost pass out.
(This is far more effective if you first time travel out of today's culture of rainbow party hedonism back to the pre-Monica Lewinsky 90s.)
I've had fillings without anesthetic. What was better when I had teeth pulled without anesthetic.
I also still have my wisdom teeth and have no plans to let any crazy-ass people remove them.
Same here. My dentist says I have cavity-proof teeth (no deep crevices), and this last visit, he decided that since my wisdom teeth erupted through the gums nine years ago, he'll finally stop formally recommending that I schedule their removal.
Eh, I pulled one of PK's teeth without anesthetic a couple months ago.
My big discovery when I had my wisdom teeth out was that I can't tolerate codeine. Nothing's more fun for an 18yo girl than having to ask your dad, who you don't have much of a relationship with, to go pick up some suppositories at the drug store for you.
Also you cavityless people irritate me.
Eh, I pulled one of PK's teeth without anesthetic a couple months ago.
Was it just a loose baby tooth, though? The roots on those aren't anchored that deep. I remember my parents yanking a couple of those when they were sick of me doing the "look mom! I can turn it all the way around" gross-out trick. I remember them pulling one using an old wives' tale kind of a thing where they tied one end of a piece of string around the tooth, the other end to a doorknob, and then slammed the door.
The time we tried that my tooth was victorious over the door. I liked turning my baby teeth all the way around, though. See, Mom? See?
33: Shh! I'm trying to one up Chopper.
Actually it wasn't as loose as all that, and PK was really mad at me. I don't remember having them pulled hurting all that much!
26: Giving blowjobs after getting wisdom teeth removed is probably not a good idea, condom or no. You're not even supposed to drink through straws.
(Receiving blowjobs, on the other hand...)
you're right. i've done it. much better than dripping your drink down the front of you for the rest of the day.
35: It was my two baby upper canines, which wouldn't come out of their sockets even after the adult teeth started to descend. They hadn't loosened up at all.
That said, I've never had braces and have a perfect bite.
15: Oh no, I was sad because I wanted it for actual dental purposes. The nitrous keeps me from freaking out about whatever awful thing they're about to do to me. And there's something awful on a pretty regular basis, because my teeth
are apparently made of Play-Doh.
Those of you who've never had a cavity, who've never know the exquisite joy the dentists call "root planing," and who had your wisdom teeth grow in upright instead of sideways can take your perfect little teeth and bite me.
Waaaay off-topic, but OMG. And I think I beat Apo to it! (Of marginal interest to people who don't like the NFL.)
Tom Brady's teeth are whiter than white.
As a teenager I used to claim that the pain of the injection was worse than that of the filling and had all my fillings done without anaesthetic. Then as an adult I decided that I'd been insane and started demanding drugs! more drugs!
The thing about the injection is that, since they're injecting anaesthetic, you don't really feel it that long.
You have to weigh up the brief but intense pain of a needle against the dull grinding of the drill. I don't have much hesitation in choosing the needle now, but maybe my pain tolerances were different when I was younger.
your going on about this, but girls and gays have it easy, if they keep giving blowjobs, then their teeth will be fine as giving blowjobs whitens teeth
