Painful Mouth

Let me just start by saying what I have said to my girls all along, brush your teeth, so you don't have to go through what I have to. I had yet another root canal done today. They are not fun, they are not relaxing, and I rather have open heart surgery again than have a root canal. My dentist is great and he really does a good job, I just have so much that needs to be done that it seems to be taking forever. I also had a horrible dentist as a child and am scare to death of them to this day.

So I went in because I have pain in my teeth, we were sure which tooth, so they did xrays, and poked and prodded. Then the dentist used a small piece of ice and touched it on each tooth to detemine the cold sensative tooth.When he did find it, I jumped so hard that I nearly took out him, the assistant and the light above me. Of course just to be sure, he did it again and almost got kicked.

Well a few hours later I am home, dragging my face behind me on the ground. One whole side of my face was numb, including my eye and nose. So I took some pain killer and went to lay down for a few minutes. (a few minutes, three hours whats the difference)

My house looks like a 5 yr old was left unattended for hours on end. OH YA she was. Some one needs to teach that kid, if your going to sneek a bowl of ice cream, to put the carton back in the freezer and not leave it on the counter to melt.
