This'll be my first one and hopefully my only one! At least for a while.... I guess I've been lucky, I've only ever had one filling before.

I hope that it went okay

Thanks! It did go ok

no side effects from the local anaesthesia. I think she may have slightly underdosed. There was a part of my tooth very much NOT numb. But the pain was manageable. Before the end of the appointment it had already worn off.
There were several visits to the toilet for me this morning, as well. It was mostly the hours before that were bad though, once I was on my way there I was looking forward to it being over.
Next week I'll get the crown placed and then I hopefully won't have to see the dentist again for another six months!
