The sensation of scratching an itch on numb skin is slightly freakier than drinking from a cup with one half of your lips numb. I'd drink out of the non-numb side except then I spill it. The itch is a known signal that it's all wearing off fast, though. I expect to be able to have a cup of tea safely in half an hour or less.

I feel for you (or not as the case may be) I HATE dentist visits. The only time I go is when I am in so much pain, there is no other choice. Inevitably, that usually entails some sort of drilling, poking, pulling and/or grinding, and along with that comes the numbness. I absolutely hate that feeling. I will schedule a whole day off of work if I need to go, because I feel so sad and sorry for myself for the rest of the day!

I went in this time to prevent the possibility of pain in the future :P Historically dentist visits for me are either scale&clean or cover-to-prevent-badness (hence why I have fissure seals on all my molars - a bit of poking (without anaesthetic for the originals), a drill to polish the top, and I get no cavities on those teeth). One of those fissure seals had shadows underneath it, which looked to be slowly increasing in size. I prefer NOT getting a root canal, so I went in and got my lovely new dentist to take off the old one (hence anaesthetic, it was kinda drilled off) and stick new goop on top. From the feel of it, the new seal covers more than the old, so it shouldn't need replacing too soon.

Which is good.

My old dentist sucks.
