Movin' on up!
I'm a big baby, at the dentist's. I don't go, unless I have a problem. Luckily, I've had just 3 cavities, in my whole life. Mom must have been right, making us use Crest!

It went great! Gosh, I was a nervous wreck and when he asked me how I was, I told him "terrified" pretty much summed it up. But he uses laser instead of drills and thankfully the tooth did not need a root canal- just a deep filling and some cosmetic work. I now have my smile back! He was quick and normally it takes about 8 shots of novacaine to numb me up, but he doesn't use novacaine, he uses accupuncture. I got needles stuck in my neck, shoulder, and face and hands, and didn't feel a thing!

Fighting for ferals in NW NJ!
We just met with the Chairman of Biolase! (Unfortunately the stock was already up like 100%). (It's the only company that manufactures the lasers for dentistry). It seems like a FABULOUS product. Supposedly you don't need any pain killers with the lasers to begin with, but I'm sure the acupuncture helped. I've relied on it for several things, and have always had great success.

I'm so glad to hear all went well, easy, and painless!!!!!!
