To be a little serious here, I am a dentist and depending on the size of the cavity, small fillings can be done without local (or long distant ) anesthesia. I use a device called Air abrasion which is like a small sand blaster or a laser to remove small decay so no need for half the numb face unless it is a bigger cavity.



And yes, we are not stupid, most of our staff including hygienists are good looking. We have to have something to make the day pass better.



Good looking hygienists are the best marketing tool for an office.

 

well, luckily this one was a tiny one, took only 20 minutes. Ive only recently begun to get cavities (my second one.) Not fun.
