Verdict is: 6 cavities, one of which is major, possible root canal material. Went in this morning to work on it, and he said he doesn't think it will need a root canal, but with the amount of drilling he did (and 4 or 5 shots of novicaine, one of which was right up my tooth), I dunno which is worse.

I hurt.

And I have to go back tomorrow for 2 more fillings. Much more minor.

youch. This is why I don't go to the Dentist. Did you hurt BEFORE you went in? No. Did you hurt after? yes. the logical conclusion is that he did it to you.

Hey, at least it's not some bizzare form of jaw cancer, right?  

But speaking as someone who's had alot of dental work done, I feel your pain.  Sometimes literally.  

Incidentally, if I were a dentist I would make a point of playing the dentist song from Little Shop of Horrors at least once an hour.

Yeeah, I had one done last saturday. The only thing I like about dentists is the novacaine. The rest of it can be condemned.

The thing I hate the most (apart from pain, waiting for the pain, feeling the pain and anticipating the pain) is the fluid they tell you to rinse out with. What's wrong with water? Nothing. But no, they have to make you use this blue fluid, that just doesn't want to let go of your mouth. It feels like you're being assaulted by treacle.

Argh.
If you're ever in an argument and Entropy winds up looking staid and temperate in comparison, it might be time to cut your losses and start a new thread about something else :)
