The technician who did them, kept pushing back my cuticles with his own
fingernails and at one time, did so with such force, it
hurt like heck. Now, those cuticles that he pushed back really hurt. There was no blood drawn; however, the reason for my concern is, in 2007, I had a total hip replacement surery. I know now before dental appointments (and like), I need to take antibiotics, to prevent infections that could go to my prothesis.
