my face is still numb

It occurred to me only after I pulled out of the parking lot that driving while under the influence of anti-anxiety medication, anesthetic and nitrous was probably a bad idea. I made it home without anything weird happening. It took an hour to get the crown back on. There was the laser/water tool, and then they also wound a piece of wire around my tooth to pull the inflamed gum tissue back. From now on I'm supposed to walk around swilling saltwater or mouthwash at every opportunity. I need a flask.

The saltwater is for the gums, and I only have to do that until they heal. The crown has come off because there isn't much tooth for it to hang onto, and the tooth was really small to start with. Gah.
