The good news is, the dentist says I only need the one crown replaced. So, I have had lidocaine, had a mold made for the new crown, and have the temporary back on. The tentative schedule is I get the permanent crown a week from Monday. In the meantime, the painkiller has worn off and the swelling hasn't entirely; I've had a naproxen and may take another before bed. Dinner soon, and apple pie for dessert: the lidocaine has worn off, so that side of my mouth is no longer numb or swollen.
It turns out one advantage of reading books on the Palm is that it fits in a jeans pocket, making it much easier to read while waiting for the tooth-molding stuff to set, because I didn't have to worry about where to leave my book while the dentist was doing the stuff before that. (The stuff doesn't taste as horrible as I remember, but that doesn't mean I like it, and peeling it off my upper lip afterwards was annoying.)
