High Tech Dentistry

I went in for a dental cleaning today and found that I had a cracked filling. They were able to take care of that while I was there. They have new technology that is amazing! First of all, they use a tiny needle, that you can barely feel. Instead of injecting in to your jaw, they inject right around the tooth. It worked really great and didn't hurt!! THen they had a camera hooked up to show me before and after pictures. Maybe I'm just a little slow in getting to this, but I think it's great! You do have some tenderness in your gums for a day or so, but it's sure better than the old painful needles!

My dentist, and his assistant, can give the numbing shots and they NEVER hurt! I'm not lying. I don't know how they do it. I told my dentist one day after he numbed my mouth that he was the best I had ever seen! :0)

Synchronicity! I have been parading to the dentist too, escorting my father.
