Novocaine

[podling]

Right, so now I really, really know, I *do* actually need a very, very strong dosage of novocaine to be numb for any kind of root canal thing. Really. The guy ended up injecting the 7th and 8th shots directly into the tooth itself. I'm just not good with sharp stabbing pain is all. Ow.

What actually made it worse was just that the last time (and only other time) I'd had one done, they hadn't numbed me enough at all and it had been horribly, horribly painful the whole time. So this time there was also the memory of that freaking me out beforehand. Fun times, fun times...
