o.k. so for the last 2 weeks my mouth has been in excruciating pain. I had a filling fall out while prego. So I went to have it fixed. My Dentist put on a temp while the crown was being made, etc. Well, FF a few days and pain is horrid!!!! go back to dentist, get antibiotics and pain killers. . . horrid. Pain killers don't touch the pain. FF another week because I couldn't get in for a root canal for a WEEK... that is about 10 days worth of horrible pain. Soo, I had my root canal done on Wed. and here are a few things that I learned/remembered about my trips to the dentist.
1. I still cry at the dentists. I had horrible childhood experiences and they have stuck with me. Yes, I cried and I'm sure they thought I was a crazy woman.
2. The smell of a dentist office is still horrid. BLAH
3. music is still played, but not quite so elevatorish.
4. speaking of music. .. even happy gas can't make the nurse's singing to the music not annoying. just don't do it lady.
5. happy gas is still the best invention ever. I don't care how many brain cells I kill. I can't think straight most of the time anyway.
6. When a rubber sheet is put over your mouth, they aren't trying to kill you. . . . it simply catches all the tooth junk and prevents it from going into your mouth. phew!
7. Shots still hurt. . badly.
Well, that was my time at that dentist office. I still have to have the crown put on, but all the nasty part is done... for now! :)
