Root of Pain ( November 8, 2012 )




I had another first yesterday. I thought the dentist would fix my month-long aching tooth with a quick pasta. I was so wrong.I ended up surprised, scared and suddenly ready for  my first ever ( and hopefully last ) root canal. I also thought it would hurt. My brother and aunt had it recently and they both shared an equally painful story. Amazingly, I survived it without a single "Ouch". Although I had to slightly pinch myself when the anesthesia was injected right through my gums. That one hurt a bit.

I was told that after the procedure, I shouldn't feel any pain or sting on the operated tooth when I eat or drink cold stuff. So I tried as soon as I got home, and so far, the dentist, who's also my uncle, is right. Good job, Doc. Thank you for getting at the root of my pain, and I'm pretty getting all-wishful that after my tooth, a lot of pain going in me can be fixed, too.
