Non-amalgam fillings

I had a negative experience at the dentist this morning. I was there to get some of my ancient fillings replaced. I had a strong reaction to the drugs they give you to numb your gums. My heart was racing and I felt like I was going to faint. I actually felt a bit like I was not really present when they were working on my teeth. I had to sit in the waiting room for quite awhile recovering before I could walk home. Luckily, I was already planning on working from home the rest of the day!


My view in the waiting room. That water jug and I made good friends, though I think half the water ended up on my shirt from using my numb lips!
