Root Canal

Well, I survived my first and hopefully last root canal.

It was actually less horrific than fillings I have had in the past. With enough numbing and a friendly dentist, it’s not so bad. I am cautiously optimistic that my new dentist is the “shiznit.” Her office is practically in our backyard (by rural WV standards) so that is really cool. I like to support people who invest in my community. She’s also really nice and straightforward and tells me what we’re doing and what needs to be done.

I’d been shopping for a new dentist since part of the next to the last lower molar on the left side broke off on my most recent birthday. It had been sensitive since I got a filling on Sept. 10, 2001. I think it has been cracked since then and I just didn’t know it.

Anyway. I go back on the 8th of March for a crown.
