weyes Posted December 17 Report Share Posted December 17 my dentist had just finished two fillings (after saying a few "oops"es and "o no"s during them , but i guess that's another story), and she asked me to bite down on the carbon paper. y'all who've had fillings know what i'm talking about - the stuff that you chew on afterwards so that the dentist can see what he or she needs to grind down or polish.so i bit down really hard and crunched something. "is there still a piece of cotton in there?" i asked, slurring my words with my half-numb mouth."you just took out a chunk of your tongue ," she said. "you're bleeding a bit, there..." and she took out the spit-vacuum thing, which was now bloody [lovely story, huh ?], and put some cotton in to clean me up a bit.really, it sounds worse than it is. but when i got home, i just peeled off the bit that was left, as i still couldn't feel my tongue. waiting till later would've been painful . now it's just swollen and i have to eat on the other side of my mouth, as my tongue keeps getting caught up in my teeth.
