       As for what I'm talking about in the second panel, well I would love to post a link to the original article I read back then (I think we skewed the timeline here to make things flow better) but it appears that searching the internet has gone down the shitter because of AI hype. :blobfoxdeadinside: The jist is, researchers that were working on Alzheimer's treatments had created a medicine that did not do what they were hoping for, but it DID do something amazing they weren't expecting: it caused teeth to freaking regenerate! Thus, the medicine could be put into a biodegradable micro-sponge and shoved into the cavity, then sealed over. The medicine would then cause the tooth to regenerate away the rot and fill itself back in! No dental drill needed. I think the treatment is either limited to *very small* cavities, or it's still being researched. But in either case, we were SO CLOSE

       As for the final panel... yeah I did not have fun. The worst part was actually the novacaine, I must have reacted Very Poorly to it, as I had lost consciousness and I kept hearing my dentist go "you there?" on repeat as I was, uhhhhhhhh... not entirely there? And when I pulled myself back into consciousness I immediately felt like puking.
