The hang out...

Here's nice demonstration of the 'Big Bad Wolf"



Giant Vortex Cannon

Ok, so an update.

First of all, I survived.

I went over there a couple of hours ago, nervous as I have never been before for anything in my life.

The first two questions I asked were:
- Like any GLP'er would ask, what type of filling are you going to use? Metals, Mercury? lOl
- How long does the anesthetic work? Because yes, I can be a pussy sometimes. lOl

Answers:
- I forgot the name to be honest but no metals, nor mercury. It was the paste I was hoping for.
- The anesthetic would work for 2 1/2 hours.

So that put me at ease a little but still very nervous.

Then he started and pretty much didn't feel a thing. The sound of the drill was a bit unsettling to be honest but all was good. At some point my jaw was starting to hurt because I was laying there for quite some time with my mouth wide open.

But all went pretty well.

The funny thing which again made me freak out a bit was when I was on my way home and I started to play around a bit with my teeth because it feels like there is something in my mouth which should't be there and I noticed that my upper and bottom teeth doesn't close exactly the way it did before. Like the shape was not the same like it was before the filling. But I started texting some of my friends who also has a root canal treatment and it turns out that it is normal the first couple of days and that it will pass. Pfew.

So all in all, I am good.

I think the anesthetic still needs to wear off so I am not sure what the after pain will be like but I already took an aspirin so I am hoping for the best now.


Want to thank all of you who responded, gave tips, wished me well. That was beyond awesome and really did help me.

A for all of you. Thanks again!!!

I hope you are feeling better !

Glad your doing good Psych.


Here this got me through a very bad time, it realy does help!

Wow, good things are going well!! How's the pain now that the anesthetic is gone? I did childbirth naturally 3x and it wasn't "bad", but I'm thinking mouth pain would be way worse. How are you eating?

One of my teeth...

A root canal is worse. But only because it doesn't reward you like a childbirth does. You got 3 kids, and I still got a sore tooth.


But things are going well. Yesterday I started with aspirins before the anesthetic wore off so I did not feel much pain but last night about 4am I woke up because the aspirin had worn off as well. The pain was not that intense but I had to wait till the new aspirin started working before I could sleep again.

Eating goes pretty well. Feels a bit weird but I can eat normal food. No need for a blender and a straw.

Thanks for asking.

HAHA, well at least it's good that you're able to eat regular food, I had visions of jars of baby food or grinding anything you ate up, yuck. Pizza in a blender?? Hopefully the pain will go away completely soon, did they say how long it'll be before you're back to normal?

lOl

That sounds disgusting, a pizza smoothie.

No, I was pretty glad about that as well. Although I probably wouldn't have mind the baby foods. They can be pretty tasty. Hehe

I stopped taking aspirins yesterday and I almost don't feel anything anymore. Considering everything I read about it, I am either lucky or the majority of people who had a root canal didn't have any issues either and didn't feel the need to post it on the internet. I am starting to think it's the latter.

Now the wisdom teeth though.. that is gonna be a completely different story. *Gulp
