I just got back from the dentist. I had some weakening/erosion along my bottom teeth, probably due to the adverse side effects of prednisone and the acid reflux at night bathing my teeth. They filled it with the amalgam filling. The neuro said it was alright to use lidocaine. When I came home and looked in the mirror, I have a normal smile. My smile has not looked this good in years. I almost forgot what my real smile looked like. I though lidocaine might make my face more droopy, instead I have a real smile. Weird!!! I wonder how long it will last.
