I feel like I'm old hat at fillings these days. In fact, I miss fillings. I had to get a root canal today. Imagine trying to communicate to a doctor that you're hot and clammy and about to vomit when you're tilted upside down with a plastic tent covering your entire mouth. And when I said "I ee oo it uuuh. Eh ee it uuuh. (I need to sit up. Let me sit up)" and yanked off the nitrous and my headphones, the dentist yells "Hold on a minute!" So he finally stops, I sit up, and as soon as they get the plastic tent off I promptly vomit. Good tiiiimes.
Children, go to your dentist regularly. Get your checkups, get your fillings filled, and get your broken teeth fixed before you wind up needing a root canal. It fucking sucks.
