Just novicane. No painkillers. It didn't hurt really, xcept at one point, but I have a high tolerance to pain.... so........ I wouldn't ever recommend the dentist I went to. I couldn't get a referral, and I didn't think of the 1-800 to call. Now I'm stuck with a 2000 dollar bill. For future reference, Brea Dental Group is full of evil evil people. And as for the Sonicare, my boyfriend got me into it. It's is definately awesome and we have a travel case too!
