Root Canal

I got a root canal today. My tooth is pretty sore. They had to give me an extra shot half way through 'cause I could start to feel them poking around in there. Even my eyeball was numb afterward. I was pretty surprised. They got it done in just 2 hours. The last root canal I had was a molar and it took 3 or 4 visits to a specialist. Plus an extra visit with my regular dentist to replace the temporary filling the specialist put in with a permanant one. What a racket!

Ouch, I hate going to the dentist.

Yikes! It's no wonder people hate going to the dentist....

Fortunately, I've been lucky enough to have cavity free teeth for quite a few years. I've most likely just jinxed myself... LOL

My last root canal was a molar with four roots (instead of just three), but it took only one visit to the root canal guy plus one visit to the dentist to replace the temporary filling. I wonder what the deal was with your last root canal.

It was a long time ago that I had my molar root canal. The dentist prolly had to bleed out the bad blood.
