My root canal took part over two visits... The first, he started it, and then I was in discomfort/pain for a couple of days... I understand why... He was filing the canals of the tooth... Which, really means he's going to town with destroying my tooth/the gum around the tooth... So, yes, pain... It sucked... But it was mostly better after a couple of nights... (I worked the next day... if I have to do this again, I will know better)... The next appointment, he finished separating the roots from the tooth, and then cauterized the nerves... It's the oddest thing when you see wisps of smoke coming from your mouth...
Didn't feel a thing...
And the best part was that afterwards, there was no pain unless I bit down on that tooth... Now, a week later, I can chew normally again... No pain at all...
I wouldn't say I would do it again if I didn't have to, but it's nowhere near as scary or horrible as people say it is... Kudos to my dentist for making it somewhat easy on me...
Now, let's hope my insurance also makes it easy on me by paying 80% of the costs, eh? ;D
Will try to get back into the stitching... I am soooo far behind on my projects it's scary... And I only have 19 days until I go on my vacay road-trip with my bestie across half the country... And I'm working full-time until I leave too, so not a lot of time off...
I just want to stitch again... These past few months have been bad for my concentration...
