Dentists and Novacaine. . . .Ugh

Lots of people hate going to the dentist. I didn't used to.  I had some dental "issues" as a kid and saw a great pediatric dentist who felt that kids should never feel pain. 

So for me, the dentist for many years was a decent experience with plenty of "moon air" and novacaine.  My conditioned response was to walk into the dentist's office and feel relaxed, practically tingly like I had already had some of that moon air.

Well, I can't say I feel the same way now.  Just a few too many less than stellar experiences.  Yesterday my dentist did the swab thing to start the numbing. . .and then asked me questions as though I really wanted to discuss the economy with him while my mouth went numb.  And honestly, when he went to do the numbing shot, it was like something out of a comedy sketch.  Just unreal.

But for humor's sake, I did have to think of a great sketch from Bill Cosby because it was totally how I felt. 

You should get to enjoy the dentist sketch too.
