Debbie's mouth took a lot of work yesterday. Where we expected that they would take impressions, and fit her with temps to tide her over while permanent teeth are being made, she had two more teeth pulled. And she had two implants put in.
Part of the problem was that she sat in the dentist's chair so long that the anesthetic wore off. So she felt a lot more pain that she should have. On top of that, she was simply more shocked than I've ever seen her be from a dental procedure.
Deb has had a lot of dental work done over the years. She has experienced a lot of pain from various dental procedures. She is resistant to Novocaine; she doesn't get numb. As a result, dentists have to use alternate anesthetics. Over the years, she has had to prove this to new dentists repeatedly. Dr. Peralta believed her and did not test that fact as other dentists have in the past.
