THE DENTIST'S CHAIR — There's nothing like the feeling of immaculately clean teeth to keep you going back to the dentist, even if you do have a not-so-gentle hygienist.
That being said, the reality is that many of us have visited the dentist only to find that we needed more than a cleaning that day. Cavities, root canals and crowns loom large in some of our lives, and that means a good face numbing with a local anesthetic.
But the thing is, if you keep your sense of humor during your dental procedure, sometimes the effects of a numb face really pay off in the humor department, as did YouTube user Kara West in a video she posted in 2013 that the Internet is currently enjoying.
According to the video description, West was at the dentist to finish getting a crown. But one side of her face is so numb, it doesn't appear to even move one millimeter.
She finds it so hysterical, she laughs until she cries … or maybe she's crying until she laughs? It's hard to tell when her face is conveying extreme mixed messages.
