the tingle means it's working?
I now have a new filling, a tingly-prickly-numb mouth (and will have the hell of a sore jaw when the novocaine fully wears off) and a mouthguard because, apparently, I grind my teeth at night. (Gee, I wonder why?)
But as per usual, I'm tired after it all (novocaine usually makes me tired because he usually has to do more than one shot, but today he hit the facial nerve exactly right and only needed one shot. Also, it was a clean hole, probably a lost filling or sealant so minimal drilling was required).
