Bili - how are you feeling now?

I had my first cavity a little over a month ago and they had to use 3 shots of novicane bc the first two did nothing. My gums didn't hurt but the muscle at the back of my mouth did - every time I tried to chew.

I would definitely get a second, or even a third, opinion. I don't trust dentists - maybe it's my own paranoia but I went to a dentist that told me I needed to have my whole tooth taken out. Went to another dentist and he told me there was no way that should happen. Said I still at least 75% solid tooth left and had a tiny cavity. So it's my own bad experience but I just don't trust em. Hope you have better luck!
