Dentist- half the crowns were laid

The right side needs to go back to the lab for work. Was in the chair over 2 hrs. Mouth was numbed. Xrays, multiple molds, needles, crowns pushed down...things pulled off, glue cement...i had to sit down in the waiting room after wards to compose myself before driving. Jaw was way opened wide and manipulated around...face feels a bit tingly. Exhausted. Gotta go back tomorrow for a bite check.

...is the result of all the work that was done.

Get some rest and see how it feels in the morning, or maybe later tomorrow.

BTW. How was his attitude toward you. He was aware you had been giving him a bad review and possibly seeking legal action against him. Yes? Hope your visit tomorrow goes well.

I was in the chair for two hours, mouth numbed, impressions taken, an instrument used to scan the tooth needing the crown and surrounding teeth, and then the scan was sent to a machine that made the crown in the dental office. Fitting of the crown and fine tuning it until it fit. I like they could do everything in one visit.

I had a long appointment once (broke 2 teeth eating almonds). Tears started streaming down my face at one point and the dentist said let's take a break. I went into the restroom and cried. Then I went back to finish once I had composed myself. It was not quite a panic attack, but close.

Dentists!!!! A necessary evil.
