i am so brave!

i had to have a filling at the dentist today, and i didnt have the anaesthetic!

iv only ever had fillings done once before (a few years ago when my tooth crumbled, i needed about 5 or 6! ) and i had the anaesthetic injection to numb my gums- i HATED it! it was horrible, it felt like i had a big fat fuzzy cheek, chin and lips- and it felt like i was dribbling and gawping and i couldnt eat or drink coz i couldnt feel anything, and it lasted for hours! i like eating and drinking, and also wanted to be able to kiss my little baby!

so thought its worth the discomfort to not be stuck with a big fat fuzzy dribbly face for ages- and i think im ten men now iv had a baby anyway lol i thought it cant hurt as much as that ill be fine!

was still a bit nervous tho i was gripping the seat and screwing my eyes up in anticipation of some awful pain- but it never came! it hurt a little bit, but not like i was expecting at all! so in future i wont ever bother with the stupid anaesthetic that makes my face all big and fuzzy and dribbly! if anyone else hates having a numb face too, u dont need it honestly its not as painful as its reputed to be!

I had a filling with out anastetic before because the dentist said it wouldnt be near my nerve so it wouldnt hurt and the were FOOKING LYING
I will never do that again.

I wouldnt take it for granted that it wont hurt next time hun

But well done for being brave

Yay you!
I quite like having a numbed mouth - it's wierd so I keep prodding or trying to drink glasses of water for experimental purposes

I never used to have the anasthetic when i had a filling due to me hating needles. i moved dentist and they wouldnt allow it!! The dentitian wouldnt do the filling without me having had the injction, so im guessing it must of been a big filling or dangerous or something..
