I'm glad I am fine w needles because they have yet to give me a strong enough anesthetic shot the first try and those are. large.

Congratulations on teeth

.... huh i've never had a ddentist that actually got the neddle in my view

yeah, it was just there, in her hand

doing stabs that didn't hurt but there's a real deep one that feels like it's pushing my jaw back

the needle itself isn't wide, but the whole object is somewhat intimidating

i have evolved past this i think

...I think I was really tired or something, because the whole time from getting ready to go to getting home my hands were trembling, visibly, which is not a thing they do

it was interesting to lie in the chair and feel the trembles echo from my hands across my chest, without actually being "afraid" or "in pain"

on a brighter note: successfully got the bullshit amount they charged to fail to fix my permanent retainer turned into store credit

(and then used said credit to pay for the filling)
