Notes about Novocaine

Courtesy Beaverton Historical Society

In case you ever come back from the dentist, still numb from novocaine, but hungry, be sure to drink a smoothie or sip some soothing soup.  You may not want to, say, eat a burrito until you are able to chew only on the tortilla versus your cheek and tongue.

And then, when the dentist warns you not to chew gum while you have the temporary crown in place, you may want to REMEMBER what she tells you so you won’t have to GO BACK to the dentist sooner than they expect you.  Sometimes super glue won’t work.  I’m just saying!!!
