Root Canal Hell

I had the root canal yesterday, and let me tell you that was no fun. First of all, I had to wait for 45 minutes b/c the guy ahead of me had some fucked up teeth and it took the "endodontist" over an hour just to find his roots! So, I was already crabby when I sat down in that weird plastic-covered chair. Then, they shot a shitload of novacaine all up in there and waited until I was numb. While I'm numbing up, they tell me about the "dental dam" they are going to put in my mouth. That was the worst part about the whole thing. This disgusting piece of rubber in my mouth the entire 2 hours!! Yes, the procedure took 2 freakin' hours!!! The endodontist guy was super nice and explained everything really well - it just feels really weird now. It hurt a little last night when the novacaine wore off, but I feel fine this morning. Can't chew on that side of my mouth for a while, but shouldn't be too bad. Now, I have to call "Dr. Jennie" to schedule the crown... The fun never ends.
