It was all I could do to keep from screaming. The pain was excruciating, but it was all over in seconds. The rest of the operation took only a few minutes more with me blissfully above the pain, yet still aware of what was going on.
I wonder what would have happened if I had not been not sedated during my previous major operations. Would I have been as talkative then as I was a few hours ago? It was a wonder that the dentist could concentrate on getting my shattered tooth out with my constant and barely understandable blabbering, numbed mouth and all.
I managed to laugh a lot of times, except at that horrific one minute interval that saw two needles being pushed into my tender gums. I didn't scream, but my sister's hands were all red and sore after. After that I felt nothing at all, and all I could do was laugh at myself and ask a lot of questions. It was my first tooth extraction after all.

The stupid little no-nosed troll beside me right now is still rubbing it in; apparently she had one too many tooth extractions in the past and she just couldn't pass up the chance to make me feel all her pain. Oh yeah, she also couldn't get over the fact that my tooth was larger than her poor excuse of a nose. Hehehe... Love ya sis!
***
The tooth in question was quite near the back of my mouth and the hole it left is well hidden by my front teeth, so I can still smile. The even better news is that I can return to my normal diet, sans hot liquids and seafood for at least a week.
I'll be keeping my little tooth under my pillow tonight.
