I'm such a baby!

[Mrs.Reese]

This morning I had to get a cavity taken care of. I was up all night pacing and in general being scared. I also haven't had a cavity in 15 years. I get to the dentist's office. I didn't even feel the needle to numb me. 20 minutes later and it's all done. Now how long until I can feel my mouth again?

Been in your shoes just about 2 weeks ago.... I think it took a day to get my mouth back to normal...and I had some extra sensitivity for about a week...but my cavity was on my back wisdom tooth...

Hope you feel better soon!

The dentist called it a "baby cavity." It's strange. I'm eating but I don't feel it. I taste the food but don't feel the food. The lips are all tingly. Scary thought is that I don't think that I would mind it if I got another cavity.

Well at least your not drooling. It seems like I've had that happen before! Glad it was easier than expected.

Glad to hear you didn't find it too bad. The numbness will wear off in a couple of hours. I know exactly how you feel. I have really bad teeth (I think from bad dentists as a child) and now am paying for it. I am already nervous about an appointment a month from now. I have to have a cap removed, cavity cleaned and filled and a new cap made. Every time I go I need something MAJOR. And every time I go I am scared, so you are not alone. I wish mine was over like yours!!
