I woke up this morning with a terrible toothache. I thought I was grinding my teeth durng the night. As the day wore on, the pain continued. After couple of hours at work, the pain was unbearable. I relented and called my dentist, who was on vacation. Luckily, his replacement can see me today.
I went, thinking that they'll look, and give me antibiotics and send me on my way. After some poking and prodding, the dentist informed me that I need a root canal because the nerve is shot. I thought, root canal? When will I have time for that. That question was answer quick, the dentist started prepping me. An hour later, I had a root canal. He sent me away with prescriptions for antibiotics and vicadin.
I guess if I'm going to have to have a root canal, an unexpected and surprise one is better than one that I have to plan for. I didn't have a chance to worry and stress out about it. Now that the novacaine is wearing off, my tooth is just slightly uncomfortable. Otherwise, I think the ordeal will end fine.
