Almost enjoyed that. One injection, two teeth gone. The dentist said she had someone fall asleep once.

Definitely better than work. Now wondering why I almost found the experience, like last time, almost pleasant.

Drugs? Adrenaline?

Anaesthetics have got better. Pain management in Dentistry is way better than most folk realise.

There's pretty much no reason why any routine procedure should be painful, or even uncomfortable these days

I hugely enjoyed my root canal and it had nothing to do with the very attractive lady dentist in her late 20s ๐Ÿ™‚ Sadly she left and on my next checkup was given some dour middle aged man. I never went back.

Back when I was a Buddhist, I used to refuse anaesthetics.

I wanted to transcend dental medication.

I've now come to the conclusion that a bit of moderate pain is a good thing, nice time to reflect and remind myself to take more care of my body.

After the anaesthesia wore off I declined all hobbyists opiates in favour of Cougars way.

I was ruminating on t be notion of what it must be like to live with chronic/acute pain of any kind and as such feel very content.

Going back for another 2 next week.

I had two wisdom teeth taken out surgically. Whilst it didn't hurt, I would hardly describe it as comfortable.

And the canadian trappers that drowned when they lit a fire in their canoe to keep warm, proving conclusively you can't have your kayak and heat it.

To be fair I'm not sure anyone would suggest that extracting wisdom teeth is a routine procedure except for those doing it. If you had a couple of lumps of bone removed from your leg you'd be off for a fortnight.
