I just had 2 teeth pulled. After some mildly painful needling in the roof of my mouth, I felt nothing. 4 hours on, my face is still numb.
I'm having another 2 pulled in a fortnight. A few weeks after that, I'm having bands put on. This will be an issue, due to my flute. It'll be hard to cope, but I'll just have to work harder. It will improve my tone in the long term, so it'll be worth it
The main issue is that I'm auditioning for the schools senior concert band sometime...
