for a root canal.

AT,
Sounds like you need to think of changing your job, if a root canal sounds better than going to work. Good Luck!

Those aren’t fun. One time I had to have the cap replaced after one a few years later because I grew, and during the prep the dentist assistant was telling me how nice my teeth looked and how well I was doing. When they started to do something that hurt, and I was making noise, she told me “This is why you should try harder to take care of your teeth”. Haters.

Doc Fudpuck, didn’t you receive your degree from an Ecuadorian faith healer?
Do you accept insurance?

Ouch! That does not sound like fun Bos. Good luck!

It’s sad when a root canal is better than work OW

Hmmm….
I’m at the point in the school year where a root canal would look pretty good right about now. Don’t they give you nice drugs to take home as a souvenier?
Of course I would probably bring papers with me to correct while I was waiting….
Sigh….
Good luck with your procedure.

Sorry to hear that Bos….although there are somedays that a root canal is better than work.
May 16th, 2007 at 12:21 pm
Seriously, root canals are no fun. There must be a better way to get a day off from work.
;-)
By the way, how is Wingnut doing, today?

Ich werde froh sein, eine Mundprüfung auf den Zähnen irgendwelcher Technologiestreber auf dem Atomictumor durchzuführen. Es könnte auf das Ziehen eines Zahns, oder vielleicht sogar das Graben des kleinen Schlingels hinauslaufen. Während mein Dienst es nicht preiswert, ich einen Preisnachlass irgendwelchen großen ruinierten Frauen geben könnte.

Sorry AT & Bos.

Bos,
Insist on the drugs, but don’t go shopping until after they wear off. Way after. That’s how I ended up with my dining room table from an estate sale!
May 16th, 2007 at 8:25 pm
love estate sales!!!
And I think we found our German spammer!!

but when all is said and done, it’s worth it to be out of pain. (or at least keep telling yourself that - hee)

Root canal, humph, big deal. Try having an army dentist spend thirty minutes prying out a wisdom tooth using only a local anesthetic. The clown actually had to put a foot up on the chair to get enough leverage to crack the tooth first. It was then that I realized what it was dentists, having graduated in the botoom 10% of their class, went off to do… Good luck though, I’ll be thinking about you.

Dude, I’ve totally been there. Except it was impacted, and they had to drill it out with local anesthetic before they could put a food up on the chair to pull the pieces out.
Man, you never forget the taste of drilled tooth. Mmmm mmm.

“the taste of drilled tooth”
Eeeewwww!!!
(didn’t stop me from finishing my doughnut though)
May 18th, 2007 at 6:26 pm
Gotcha AT, the one they got was impacted as well. When he was done he gave me some great painkillers and sent me off to finish the week long guard duty they had pulled me in from to take the tooth. I never even noticed the rest of the duty… Maybe it wasn’t so bad after all!

The taste and the smell. Can’t beat that burnt tooth smell.
