Sally's GF3 thread

[Sally PB]

Today I am a mere Princess. (The name Sally is a diminutive of Sarah, and the meaning is "princess" or "woman of high rank.")

Tomorrow I become a queen. Coronation in the early afternoon. Tooth #19 is getting a crown.

I haven't had tooth repair requiring Novocain in years. I'm a bit nervous, to be honest.

Good luck Sally! FWIW I just got a new crown last week. They are much more considerate of patient comfort than in the old days. Thank heavens!

 

[Sally PB]

Thanks. Then you are a member of the royalty too!

My parents both had "a lot of gold" in their mouths. At least dentists have found another substance to use.

Good luck!

I had a crown done in the past. It's not too bad. I remember the funny feeling as the novocane wears off. Makes you feel like half your face is sliding off.

The coronation went well! It took 3 (!) shots for my lip to get numb. Now as it's wearing off, my stomach feels squirrely and I'm getting a slight headache.

They did a fantastic job. It looks just like my tooth, only it doesn't have the filling in it. They matched the color very well. I told them it's tooth plus coffee plus tea.

It's so weird drinking... I can't feel the cup on the left half of my lip. Am I pouring the tea down my face...? Nope, it ended up in my mouth, where it's supposed to be. I drank it by the sink anyway, just to be safe, in case I had an accident.

Sounds like me. They have to numb me to my eyeballs.

My tongue got numb with the first shot, but my lip didn't. The dentist said that was very common. As he put it, "The lip is a lush. Give me more! Give me more!" That was good for a laugh.

I told him that I did NOT watch "Castaway" recently. He knew exactly what scene I was referring to.

If you haven't seen the movie, Tom Hanks ends up marooned on an island with some boxes that fell out of a FedEx plant. Among the things, a pair of ice skates. The scene I was referring to: Tom Hanks gets an abscessed tooth. He uses the tail end of the ice skate blade to punch out the tooth. He passes out after that.
