Thanks, Jo. I didn't find anything on the dental forum, but I haven't searched really carefully yet. I did talk to my doctors and they said that if the dentist uses enough novocain, it should be OK. I hope so. I also read that if the dentist uses more novocain at the end of the procedure, it should help too. I'm going to ask my dentist to do that. But first, I have to get my pump refill taken care of, since I don't want to make a 2 day trip with an aching jaw.
