Yeah, I know someone who does that. No thanks.

I do that if it's not a terribly deep cavity. The shots sometimes make me sick to my stomach. Actually, they do that almost all the time. So if it's a small cavity, I'd rather it hurt a little bit and be over than leave me nauseated for the rest of the day.

My jaw hurts, too, but for all of the right reasons.. :evil:

Feel better, GD! I hope the pain soon goes away! :)

I had Nitrous for my Wisdom tooth, but it gave me the spins so I had to switch to novacaine - that was okay until they brought out the mallet. So far my remaining three wisdom teeth have been fine.
