Like somebody slugged me, HARD. I'm still bleeding a skosh, but the Vicodin helps. I had seven of those puppies taken out, getting it over with in one shot. Once my gum heals, then we start with dental implants and crowns. They didn't knock me out, they just loaded me up with novocaine until I couldn't feel a damn thing. The ride home in a traffic jam was kind of fun, especially when my mouth was regaining feeling.
A lesson to my kids...brush your teeth and floss, or daddy will tell you what happens if you're not completely thorough.
