Like shootin' puppies with a BB-Gun.
I'd poison guppies, and when I was done,
I'd find a pussy-cat and bash in it's head.
That's when my momma said...
(What did she say?)
She said my boy I think someday
You'll find a way
To make your natural tendencies pay...

You'll be a dentist.
You have a talent for causing things pain!
Son, be a dentist.
People will pay you to be inhumane!]]>Dec 14th 2007 8:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/

btw dentists dont use actualy novocaine(branded procaine) anymore. its lidocaine/prilocaine/articaine/mepivicaine these days... tho novocaine is still a lay term to cover them all. ]]>Dec 14th 2007 8:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 17th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 17th 2007 11:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/
It can also be used to reduce post-operative pain and dramatically decreases the need for postoperative medication.

how do you judge???

i'd hate to be in the middle of a procedure where the dentist says..."oh sorry... it must only work 6 min on you...sorry"]]>Dec 14th 2007 10:45PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 15th 2007 1:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 17th 2007 11:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Jan 3rd 2008 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/So.. it didn't hurt, but thats because i have always been a freak and i don't have a normal pain response. (which makes a pretty cool thing when betting on something stupid while being drunk)
But, i believe its a wonderful answer to all of the people out there with allergies and stuff.

Sure, a pinprick from a needle and guaranteed no pain is better than this, but this is better than nothing for someone who physiologically can't have the kinds of anesthetics normally used for dental procedures.]]>Dec 15th 2007 12:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 15th 2007 1:24AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 15th 2007 11:14AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 15th 2007 4:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Dec 17th 2007 3:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/Jan 4th 2008 8:46PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/
Don't like needles, but I LOVE the idea that I'm gonna be numb the ENTIRE time without any accidents (e.g.: "Oops! Well, whatdya know? It didn't last the full twenty minutes on you. Sorry.).

Yeah, Novocain, the gas, and maybe even the little pills they give you (don't know the name) that effect your memory, your sense of time, and put you to sleep (about the closest to being put completely to sleep without actually doing so). Now that's a nice combo, and it works. You feel nothing, you remember next to nothing, and you feel like you've been there only fifteen minutes even if you've been there six hours (which I've actually experienced). Of course, someone has to drive you to and from, but hey, thank God we have those options.

But with that said, it's good that those who can't have Novocain for whatever reason, have another option (besides having an anesthesiologist put you out altogether, which some dentists offer - expensive though).]]>Dec 15th 2007 5:23AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/14/gumease-dental-mouthpiece-numbs-without-needles/I bet they only tested that thing on people without issues, doh.

Honestly, if you've ever had cold sensitivity when taking a drink, that's about as bad as it gets. Just mind over matter. ]]>Dec 15th 2007 7:45AM
