If you really want to experience what living is all about, the next time you have a cavity and go to the dentist to have it filled, do it without freezing.
I've done my last 3 cavities like that and I'll tell you it's wild.The doctor can usually drill my tooth right down to the dentin before I feel anything at all, which is 95% of the work. The part you have to experience is when the dentist drills out a bit of healthy dentin from around the cavity site to ensure there is no rot left. That is fuc[/Azure]king nails! I don't describe it as pain, but it's definately a VERY intense localized feeling. Then make sure they let you sit a moment before getting it filled to let the feeling wear off, otherwise you will feel pressure in that tooth for a day or so. If you just wait a few mins, then the "pressure" feeling goes away and it's all good.
Try it! You only live once.

I just had 2 cavities filled yesterday as well as half of my mouth cleaned out with a cavitator. No way in hell I'd go through that without the Novocain, they tried on my first visit but the pain was so intense from the cavitator I had to stop them. Teaches me for not going to the dentist for 5 years, I brush but even that doesn't stop plaque from building up under your gums in my case.
