Deadly toothache...yeah, seriously.

You lucky people and your healthy teeth. That's not a lot for someone who has problems beyond what normal brushing habits can keep under control.

I think the most I've ever had at one visit was 9.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I have the same thing as Devo, so I've had plenty of cavities as well.

Having cavities filled doesn't require any surgery unless they are huge, wherein a root canal would probably be necessary. I've never had one of those, so I can't comment.

I've had plenty of cavities filled, though. The only painful part is when they inject the anesthetic into your gums with a needle. After that, you can't feel much of any pain, just the movement of the cleaners and the fitting of the filling. It doesn't hurt too bad. My face is usually numb on the side that the tooth is on for a few hours afterward and then you can't feel much of anything.

How ya doing, buddy?
