Went in for a cleaning. The hygienist said I had some trouble spots, "pockets -- deep pockets" and in addition to regular cleaning she would have to do some scaling. I told her that sounds terrible. She said it's also known as "root planing" and that sounds a lot worse, so I should be happy she called it "scaling."
Instead of Novocaine she had a new painkiller that doesn't need to be injected. It is forced between the tooth and gum with a tiny caulking gun. It hurts as much as a needle and has no pain killing properties at all. Lovely.
