Yeah, last time I had a toothache like this, I found that even more effective than plain ice water was scotch and water on the rocks! That, of course, is not an option any more.
I'm very grateful for the skilled dentist who performed this extraction. When he started, I told him it hurt, and he numbed me some more and then did it so deftly I was shocked when he said it was done.
Oh, and Carlotta, orders are no smoking for three days. I didn't ask about e-cigs, but I used to smoke after extractions so I figure this has to be better.
