Night at the dentist

It always amazes me how they know just what you are saying. Must be something they learn in dentist school.

I have had several root canals this year. They are better than the alternative I suppose.

I have had them before myself. And, it really wasn't that bad. No worse than a normal filling no mater how they are portrayed on sitcoms.

But, that doesn't mean I wanted two of them tonight on top of the rest...

Most of my root canals were not worse than fillings, but those dentists were liberal with the anesthetics.

The most recent one i had, the guy who did it was NOT generous with the painkillers, so it was excruciating. My nerves are convoluted, and i burn through the novocaine quickly. He didn't care. He gave me like 1 shot- the good ones gave my 5-7, carefully placed and renewed- and kept lying to me about how he was done with the painful stuff.

Since he was someone my regular dentist brought in, I've been leery of my dentist since. I am way overdue for a check-up, yet cannot bring myself to do it,

"That will be $1400 now and another $1000 when they come in," he said.

OUCH.

Well, that does not sound like fun.

I was supposed to go in to start work for a crown a couple of weeks ago but it got cancelled because of one of the snow storms. I'm not real excited about rescheduling but I know it needs to be done. He's been telling me this one needs to be done for a couple of years now.

I got a root canal more than ten years ago...never bothered to get a crown, though. S: But yeah, they aren't fun at all. :\
