Yup!!! But before you know it, it will be all over!! I've had a crown put in before and you won't feel a thing. The injection of novacaine is the worst part; but just a pinch! Try to think of how good you'll feel when it's all over. My dentist is terrific. He has a TV and VCR player, with a library of tapes, in all his exam rooms! And, stereo headphones with a cassete and CD player if you'd rather! It helps a lot to distract you. I'll be thinking about you! Let us know you're ok when it's all over! You're not alone!!
