Blessed as I am with genetic weak enamel in my back teeth, I do appreciate modern dentistry and all its wonders, but bloody f*$k, I hate fillings!
I had to get an old one replaced today and also a new one put in the tooth beneath it, so one whole half of my face had to be numbed. The lower half de-numbed itself halfway through the procedure (that was a very pleasant surprise indeed, I love that shooting drill-nerve pain so much), so my lovely dentist had to redo the anesthetic on my lower jaw, so all in all, I was unable to feel half of my face until 14:00 in the afternoon (I was out of the dentists at 10:30)! Ugh… and once the numbness finally wore off, the over-sensitive feeling of recently drilled teeth took over. So not fun at all.
Although Littlepixie does keep coming up to me and rubbing my the side of my face saying “your filling is really boo-tiful mama”. What does she think a filling is, I wonder? I didn’t enlighten her! She has seen Topsy & Tim getting one in a book, so perhaps she thinks it’s a fun thing to have 
It’s not!

oh poor you! I HATE the dentist and HATE getting my mouth numbed. Hope your teeth are back in great working order now!!
Oh no! I hope your mouth is feeling better now. You’re a lot braver than me – I haven’t been to the dentist in YEARS and I know that I will have to soon *shudder*
LP is so sweet! Do they still publish Topsy & Tim books??
Ughghgh! I’m SO sorry, sounds so painful! I hope you feel better soon.
Hope you are feeling much better today.
Thanks everyone, feeling much better today, still feel a bit bruised though!
@veganmama, yup they do, we were lucky enough to buy a load of the Topsy&Tim books before they relaunched them with new funky drawings and equivalent new funky prices. We got lots of the old ladybird style ones for very little cashola, always a good thing!
