Root Canal

Lucky me had a root canal today. My dentist told me I had the longest roots he had ever seen, whoopee! What that means in practical terms is that the tools they use for cleaning out the canal wan't quite long enough and that I'll have to rely on antibiotics to make sure I don't have any problems.

I am glad I live in an era with good pain killers, although my overall experience wasn't bad (I've had worse fillings).

Ouch, my condolences :)

I actually had two last year. Apparently my childhood doctor filled a cavity w/o properly cleaning it out... and when it started to hurt, they realized this and had to do a root canal!!
