Back from the Dentist

I just got back from the dentist. It was expensive, but not as expensive as it could be. That's my birthday present for this year:-( And I was hoping to go another 5 years without seeing the dentist without dire consequences. I'm going to be extra careful about taking care of my teeth again. At least I just needed a new filling as opposed to a root canal. The side of my face is all numb. They gave me tons of novacaine because of the placement of the cavity (second to last tooth in the back, bottom right). I'm supposed to be tired from the numbing agent, too. My mouth was too small for adult x-ray things so they used the kind they used on little kids for me. My gagging reflex was going off when they tried to use the adult sized ones.

Five Gratidues

1. I only needed a filling in my tooth and not a root canal or something else expensive.
2. I have my tooth stuff fixed and hopefully can stay away from the dentist for awhile.
3. I have a cold mocha drink thing:-)
4. I'm enjoying the short story collection I'm currently reading.
5. I can watch America's Next Top Model tonight, with all Tyra Banks' craziness.
