Whoopee! Another 2 hours for the same tooth. I may well end up spending an 8 hour day on this one tooth. No. This dentist person does not use laughing gas.

Now for the root canal viewers good news.

I have had a colonoscopy done without pain medication, which was not nice, but not at all as bad as some tooth work.

Then I recently had a video done of my bladder. They do not do pain medication on that one, but for me, it was quite painful, especially since the issue ends up being exactly where the video camera goes. Unfortunately for me, it only gets worse.

The rest of the day and night into the next day was an exercise in ripping a long cut open every time I had to use the bathroom. It is never nice expelling blood while you watch either. That ended up being almost worse than even old fashioned root canals were. Makes me wonder why I was given only this nothing to it warning that there would be a little brief pain. The urologist happened to have a student learning the ropes there. That prolonged the event much longer than it otherwise would have been, as he took a descriptive trip through my interior domains.

So. All you facing a root canal, it is nothing these days compared to some procedures. Even the Novocain injections are not the trial they once were, since they likely will give you some topical numbing first.

Root Canals? They are a piece of cake!

Wait.

Forget the cake.

It will only move you more near to your next tooth mining extravaganza.
