Damn, that abscessed tooth really hurt!
And of course it happens while we have company, so I’m grumpy and out of it when I should be enjoying myself and their company. Luckily we found a good dentist in the area, who took me at 7:30pm in an emergency visit in the -5°F night.
So good in fact that I didn’t feel the first two shots of novacaine at all. The third was in the roof of my mouth, but tolerable. After that, no pain at all. Just the really strange sensation of a tooth getting wrenched out. Wierd. Really wierd.
