Dental work

Numb - my whole lower bottom of my face is numb! I really dislike going to the dentist when I have a cavity! I hate the feeling of a numb face with a passion! This is the second time that the back tooth was worked on within one month but thankfully I don't have to go back. The first time I had a regular cavity - no big deal as I don't think I have had a cavity for at least 10-15 years?!? But while they are filling the tooth the tooth is cracked under the old cavity so they need to put on a crown. So I go back today and then am suppose to go back in 2 weeks for the final crown but.... I don't have to, PTL, because this dentist can make a final crown while you're in the chair. It takes a bit longer but I think that it is worth not having to go back! He makes the crown and it is a purple color then he fires it and it turns white! But now I am waiting for the tinglies to get out of my lip - I really detest that part! It's coming around but slowly.
