Yeah up here in Canada all of our Dentists are Homeopathic. They don't use novocaine. They actually have ice and snow packed in trucks, and brought
down form the Territories (or Alaska if they're in a pinch). Then they take this snow and ice, and stick it in these special freezers.
THEN (and this is the most important part) they use Cotton Balls and QTips (except they use the generic brand because the regular brand in Canada has
Asbestos), and they use THAT in conjunction with the ice and snow, to Litterally freeze the area they are going to work on.
It takes a few Cotton Balls and Q Tips to get it nice and frozen before they can do any work, but its a lot healthier for you than Novocaine. When
your mouth starts to thaw, you just tap the Hygienist, and she grabs another Bucketfull of Cotton Ball/QTip/Ice/Snow concocktions and re-freezes you.
