Dental Pain Sucks
After a weekend of sporadic tooth pain (ranging from aching to excruciating pain), I called the dentist this morning. Luckily they were able to fit me in at 10am.
I knew what was in store for me. I just knew it.
My premonitions were correct and within 90 minutes I left with a root canal performed.
The actual root canal therapy wasn't that painful. The most pain came from the injections of anesthesia. I think it just sounds worse than it really is.
Of course I'm sick, so I had to see what they actually do to the tooth. All I could see was the evil-looking instruments they use. (Good ol YouTube)
At this point my mouth is beginning to really ache!
... time for more Hydrocodone! :n(
