Cool

I really like the Act mouthwash - seems to work well.

I'm a total dental phobe. I don't know whether I'm more scared of novocaine or tooth pain (esp since the novocaine doesn't work worth a flip for me). I have to have lots of fillings replaced soon (no new ones, they are just getting old and starting to shift a little), and I'm really dreading it. My last experience was having wisdom teeth pulled, and I woke up (wide awake) in the middle to a nurse saying "pull harder so you get them out before she comes all the way up"). They did put me out for a while, but the novocaine wasn't working.

I'm trying to get up my nerve, and I've tried to talk to my dentist (not the oral surgeon) about it (i.e. novocaine not working), but his response is just "they didn't do it right" and "the new stuff will probably work." I'm a wimp.
