Sign Language at the Dentist Office

Today was my 2nd appointment with the dentist and I was nervous about it all morning. As soon as I got there they applied some medicine to numb the area he would be working on. After about five minutes he got working. Amidst the sound of the dreadful drill he asked me to use sign language to let him know how I was doing. He wanted to see one of these if I felt ok:. I was so glad that most of the procedure was pretty painless. There were a few times I could really feel the pressure and instead of a thumbs up I was tempted to use another gesture using my hand and fingers but didn't. After about an hour he finishes his job only to tell me that he was only able to do a pulptomy on this one tooth and will be referring me to a specialist to take a second look. WHAT??????? Oh well, at least round one is over with. Can't wait for the next one!:(
