ughhhhhhh

I have to get a root canal. they started today and put in a temporary filling. and I feel like a flippiin' chipmunk. No wonder my tooth was hurting so dang bad. I have 2 more appts. so they can finish it. I cried when I got out of there because I hate going to the dentist and now this. I just cant wait until this is over. I was going to get a salad from Quiznos on Friday, but I don't know if I will be able to eat it and I am not eating any candy so nobody better offer me any!

Does your dentist offer any sedation or other forms for who are nervous during procedures? I hate the dentist as well, even just cleanings.

Best of luck with it

So sorry to hear that! I've never had that done before. The worst thing I have ever had done at the dentist is I had my wisdom teeth pulled. I couldn't eat right for two weeks! I could barely open my mouth. It was torture! But it was worth it because now my mouth is normal! I don't like going to the dentist either. But who does?!

Hope everything goes well for you!

You've undergone the worst of it already so don't fret. I've been through braces, TMJ therapy & wisdom teeth removal - believe me, I'd take a root canal over any of these procedures!

thanks you all!

Sadie'smom,

I'm sorry, I have gone through the wisdom teeth removal, too and it's the worst pain I have ever felt in my life and sorry you've been through all that.

Root canals are def. nooo fun...Hope your mouth will start feeling better soon.
