To answer your question, am I a part of the missing side tooth gang? I do have missing teeth, but it's not on the side of my mouth. They're just little baby teeth that never fell out. I was severely neglected as a child. My parents never took me to the dentist. So I got a lot of dental work caught up as an adult. So I've had baby teeth that never fell out, pulled out.

So, I totally get what you're saying, um, you know, having dental work done, first of all, when that lidocaine goes into the vein in the mouth, oh my god. It feels like fire or lava is entering the vein line. It's so excruciating.

Now, the word excruciating may actually be an overstatement. I might be a little dramatic here, but at the end of the day, lidocaine, getting lidocaine in the vein does actually hurt. And I can feel it like trickling into the vein itself, so you know what I'm saying?

All in all though, I do hope that you can get the work that you need done, the power can return to the dental office. Is there a power outage in general or is it just isolated to the dental office? That's kind of weird if it's isolated, but yeah, I hope you feel better soon and I really hope that you have as good day as you can.
