It's always fun to talk to a new dentist about my PTSD from offices.
"Oh, and I had several cavities drilled without any numbing"
Dentist: O_O
Dentist: "None at all?"
Me: "Yep. I've also had several more where it wore off before they were finished."

@hrefna@hachyderm.io I can relate. I had to have 4 baby teeth pulled that would not grow out on their own. The pain killer finally kicked in after I got home.

@hrefna@hachyderm.io had that as a kid. My blood vessels are wired a little weird, so anaesthetic tends to flow away from the target tooth. The most traumatic part was being told that it did not, in fact, hurt.
