Went into my dentist today to get a temporary crown put on. I’m 63 and I’ve been seeing this same dentist since I was in 7th grade! He’s very good at not causing pain. Before he numbed me up I told him that I seem to need more novocaine than the average person and I was right again. He gave me two shots and started drilling and it hurt like hell so he gave me three more shots. That did the trick. He charges $1800 for a crown but he knocked a couple of hundred off the price for what he calls a “professional courtesy.” So I’m only $1600 in debt instead of $1800.

Do you smoke? I’ve heard people who smoke need more numbing. Takes a ton for me.
