Do we have a New Year's Resolutions thread yet?

I didn't have dental coverage for a few years so I just finally went last month and needed a ton of fillings (shocker) including in my front teeth, and the shot for that one went into the gum right above and left the tip of my nose numb for about four hours.
But now that it's all done my teeth/jaw/face/skull keep hurting, which they didn't do when I just had the cavities. I have to take Aleve two or three times a day, or else I wake up in the middle of the night from it. I'd go back but I'm not really sure what's the cause, if it's the fillings actually or just the fact that, y'know, I had like 18 fillings in three weeks.
Redball:
You should go back. My root canal as a child was in a tooth which had been worked on; the dentist had drilled a little too far. Your symptoms sound too general to be only a tooth, but you should have it checked.

So, how do you even get your tattoos done?

One I never look at the needle touching my skin. Two it doesn't so much go in and stay there as it hits a bunch of times really fast.
BeoPuppy:
I'm impressed.
My dentist has never ever hurt me with an injection. And I have had tons. It always makes me wonder what people are talking about when they describe the pain from such an injection. And I wonder why not everyone goes to my dentist.

I think it's not actually the needle so much as the drug. There's this burning sensation as it starts into your gums. One of my old dentists said it was because it's a different pH balance from the body.
