I visited the dentist today and received my first filling since a kid. My memories are of funny gas and some gross drilling (what is that stuff that splashes back at you?) and later a numbed mouth...
My experience today was so quick and painless. Apparently dentistry has come a long way since I was 12. Numb, drill, clean, fill, heat with cool laser, and finito. Completely amazing -- nothing like I remember. Kudos to my great dentist and the advances of medicine.
... and smile!
