lizardlady, I know no credit history isn't good, should you want to buy a house or something in the future, but I just meant it's better than bad credit history.

Thanks, Gus! My dentist rubs this stuff on a Q-tip onto and under my gums which is supposed to numb it a bit (but I don't think it does much of anything), and then in goes the needle. Nothing to numb the gums.

Never heard of cake frosting in a dentist's office. I love cake frosting, LOL! I realize she isn't giving it to you to enjoy, but it's better than most of the stuff the dentist sticks in your mouth.

I'm supposed to go back in two weeks to get the permanent bridge. I don't know if it'll feel different than the temporary ones I've had, but I don't like how they feel. It's tolerable, but feels "fake." The back is too smooth, although with this one I have now, at least they made it feel a little bit like separate teeth in the back. Still very smooth, though.
