“For the first 30 years of my life, I went to a dentist that didn’t use novacaine for ANYTHING, including fillings!”
Ever see the movie Marathon Man? Are you sure your dentist wasn’t a former Nazi war criminal?
I couldn’t sit through Marathon Man.
The dentist was a friend of my Dad’s and very old fashioned. He may have had novacaine if people asked, but he didn’t really believe in it and I just thought that’s why people hated the dentist.
Again, the thought of getting a tooth filled that way today makes me sick.
Live and learn! :)
