So after school today I had to go to the dentist for a filling. He told me at my checkup that it was just a tiny cavity, we planned when I would come in to have it filled (today), and told me to expect to be here about 40 minutes.
Well, it wasn't quite that.
I arrived at the dentist's about 10 minutes early (due to a lifetime of being taught to be somewhere 5 minutes early, plus throwing on an extra few minutes in case my car has troubles). I had to wait, obviously, for a few minutes, but they got me in still about 5 minutes early (1:55 rather than 2:00).
They told me, "This is just a tiny filling so we aren't going to numb you are anything. If it does hurt though, just tell us and we'll numb you."
I was like, "Okay, sure," and quietly resolved to live through whatever pain I ended up in and not get numbed at all.
So, they got started. For about three seconds total, maybe, my one tooth hurt a little. The whole filling took a whole 5 minutes. Then they were like, "Okay, you're done!", did the usual, "Are you feeling okay? Does it hurt at all?" questions, and when I had no complaints they told me I could leave.
I was just like, "Wait, I can go home now?" I mean, seriously? Already? I'd hardly been there 10 minutes!
The dentist assistant girl just laughed at me and assured me I could. So... I left, and was home about a half hour earlier than expected.
Very fast. I'm impressed. xD

Well, I hope that's the way it goes for me on my dentist appointment on MLK Jr day. Yup. Who schedules a dentist appointment on a day like that???

Yeah. That really sucks, but I'm glad it went so fast for you. :)
