When Dra. Marcela told me last week that she needed to fill the chips in my tooth with resin, in my head I envisioned her taking a little paintbrush or even her fingertip and just dabbing the chips with resin. Sort of like spackling a hole in a wall.
When one spackles a hole in a wall, one doesn't drill out more of the hole.
When a dentist spackles a hole in a tooth, a dentist drills out more of the hole.
With no anesthesia.
Did I mention there were two chips?
I was only in the dentist's chair for 25 minutes, but by the time it was done, I was done.
D.O.N.E.
For having that awfulness over and for having non-chipped teeth, I am truly thankful.
