pain

dtoday I got to new tooth implants. Happy happy, if it weren't of the pain.

Imagine yourself laying on the dentist's chair, fully packed with antiseptic covering, waiting to be drilled in an area that always has been extremely sensitive (the lower jaw bone, right end). The dentist kept on adding injection after injection, without result. Finally he surrendered, adding that a former infection might be the cause of this horror story. Pain. It clearly isn't.

As far as I know, pain is just an electrical impuls sent from a local nerve to the brain, that declares it a pain. There is no pain, unless my brain tells me so.

So, how can I convince my brain that the implanting of two new teeth should not cause pain?

The one who finds the real answer to this question will probably get a Noble prize. Good for you! Do let me know!
