health day

I got home about an hour ago. We went to the specialist today to check my teeth. It was hurting for like 2 or 3months. i also got this abcess..it doesn't have any cavities, but it was so sensitive..cant even drink a cold water. grrr! So i thought the doctor will just check it and tell us to come back for the next appointment, but i was wrong. In fact i really want to get it done today cuz im having some stomach issues,I just couldn’t stand it.

30 minutes later he started the x-ray and give me a shot. he is going to do what they called the ''root canal'' i dont have any idea about it till i search on youtube, i watched some videos. I must admit i was scared after watching of so many references to the horrors of this procedure through the years. Some of them said that it sucks and it hurts like hell:(( and some of them said it doesnt hurt at all. i got really nervous cuz i havent done the root canal before.

When he started it, i feel a little pain so i ask for more novacaine, i couldnt stand the pain but he said it wasnt my tooth its just the cold water but i prefered to get some more shots, i guess he gave another one or two shots to make my mouth really numb. And i like it that way.

I had it done after 1 hour and it wasn't so bad. Actually it was quick. I have no pain going in. Yup!! I am not even in any pain or pressure - guess thats what he meant when he said the nerve was already dead & he cant find any pulp in my tooth. Doesn't sound good, does it?? The tooth was fine after, but just felt a little funny. The worst thing about the whole procedure is that I was laying in the dental chair BORED! while my hubby and the doctor talkin bout that freakin baseball. It makes me wanna go home and log in to friendster.LMAO! Root Canal is hella expensive but good thing i had my dental insurance so we dont have to pay that much. it is supposed to be $750. Yikes so expensive. But then i have to go back next week to get a lil bit of fillin. And this time, they might not accept dental insurance. AWWW!!

Lucky for me,the doctor is really nice and more gentle than my last one.
