The Tooth Update

So I have just returned from the dentist. God bless him.

And the two dreaded words were uttered: Root canal. It appears that I had decay underneath the filling which caused the nerve to die and the filling to come out.

I am still wondering, however, if the nerve was dead, WHY DO ROOT CANALS HURT SO BAD?

Anywho as exciting as my evening was in the dentist chair, I can look forward to this one thing: I'm going back in two weeks for 'Phase 2'. Oh how blessed!

I'm currently doped up on nurofen as the anathesia has worn off, and am only moments away from swearing off sugary food forever! (Now that is serious!!)

argh, no really do they really hurt that bad... shivers. I need one. Maybe two by now, cos the dentist told me I need one a year ago but I put it off because HE LEFT A PIECE OF WOOD IN MY MOUTH! Yup- its true. A wedge or something and it was there for 2 weeks before I realised that was where the pain was coming from. Ugh. Blagh. Poor Old You. I hope you feel better soon.
