I had one done this summer. Its horrible but not the end of the world. It took a long time to do mine but it was fine during the procedure. It was after that it was aching. Take pain killers right when you get home to get the ball rolling.

It's the most painful experience ever. Your head will feel like it's going to explode. You'll be begging for them to stop.


I really have no idea as I've never had one h:

Oh man you are in for the worst pain of your life. I don't care how many shots they give you, you are going to feel every minute of work done to you. It's going to bleed so bad you are going to think you ate razor b;lades and if you get dry socket then you are in for a treat.

my dentist/orthodontist whatever hit a nerve in the roof of my mouth when giving me the novacaine, I swear I saw blue lightning when it happened, freaked me out. Pray to your god for forgiveness and repent and maybe just maybe the toothfairy will descend from the heavens before your RC and whack you with the holy frying pan so you don't feel anything. I swear I'm not crazy h:

I can't imagine the grinding noise and having to wear goggles since tooth dust will be airborne.

I particularly enjoy the smell of burning enamel.
