When a dentist is working on an individual tooth they may put a rubber band around the base of that tooth with a rubber cloth attached so they can work solely on that tooth without concern for the rest of the mouth. Such a rubber band sits at the very base of the tooth and pinches the gums causing intense pain. Dentists almost never use anesthetics to numb this pain because if you can just endure for a few minutes the pressure of the rubber band will numb the surrounding area. The technical term for this is pressure anesthetics.
How much pressure are you under? Do you find yourself feeling numb and unresponsive. Do you wish you could just jump right into action but you’ve been under this pressure so long you find even the thought exhausting. The scariest part about the rubber band is that when they remove it the pain is just as bad as when they put it on. Pressure anesthetics are good, it allows us to get through some things that would otherwise be overwhelming, but are you living a numbed life afraid of taking off the pressure and feeling reality.
