I had a dentists appointment at 8am and I just got back from it, routine check up and stuff then out of the blue they're just like "Hue hue, we gotta drill into your teeth and stick 5in needles in there with anesthesia!"
Yeah, my mouth tastes like latex and cotton and I can't feel the entire left side of my face and the lower right side of my jaw.
This is also the first time I've ever had anesthesia in my jaw so I freaked out when I couldn't feel the glass of water when I took some Tylenol.
