I just got a root canal, a root canal, a root canal!

Yikes, that's a lot of work.

And really early appointments. How do you wake up so early??

 

I wish I was that happy going to the dentist. I totally freak out. Ugh....

 

I don't mind the dentist at all. Never had any discomfort from anything from root canals to root planing.....

 

I have to get my wisdom teeth pulled AND get braces in (because I have an end-to-end bite. ;_

I'm afraid I'm gonna look weird when the braces come off, like I have an overbite or something. Like I might have too set back of a chin, or my upper teeth will stick out.

I just got back from the dentist today.

I love the dentist.

It's like a spa for my mouth. I didn't have any cavities, my gums were in perfect shape (pink and fiiirm!).

Well, I do floss everyday. That's honestly the best thing you can do. If going to the dentist is painful for you (anybody who's reading this), man up and FLOSS!

I want to be a dental hygienist one day. There's a college I can go to for an Associate's, but the one with the Bachelor's is closing down! I'M SO PISSED! Pissed like angry, not like drunk you still British people.

Well James, have fun with those dental procedures. ^_^

 

Hehe. I always use root canals to say when someone isn't being funny.

For example: "You're as funny as a root canal" OR if I feel like mixing it up I'll say something like "Wow! My dentistme that when I was having a ROOT CANAL!"

It's gotten to the stage where I can just say "Root Canal" and people know what I'm talking about.

...Fairly random but yeah.

I hope it doesn't hurt you too much James My love!

 

Ugh, dentist stuff sucks. I got my wisdom teeth out last summer and I had to sleep upright for three weeks, but my face STILL swelled up. *shiver* Thank god I'll never have to do that again! I have no more wisdom teeth in my mouth.

I've always been afraid of root canals because I don't know what they are and everyone says they're the worst kind of dental work. What exactly is it? Please don't be too graphic...

 

You had a numbing medication?!!!!!!

Eesh.. All I had was local anesthesia.. SOBS... I've had it for like half a decade already... It's awesome how people freak when you tell them that you have wires in your teeth..

And seanathon.. how come you have wisdom teeth at the age of 15?.. Did you just mean the teeth at the back of the jaw?

 

Not necessarily. I had my wisdom teeth out at fifteen. Actually, the earlier you get them out, the less severe the surgery is.

 

I had mine surgically removed at 16 too prevent any complications that could arise when they grew in, my doctor told me the earlier the better. My face totally swelled to the size of a watermelon and I had to shove cotton balls in the back of my mouth because of bleeding while I recovered too. YUCK! :eusa_sick

 

Yeah, plus you have to get them before the roots grow into your jaw nerves. And my dentist says it is the perfect time.

 

lol I remember when I had a minor surgery done on my gums and the dentist put local anesthesia or something, my whole face (nose, lower+upper lip)got numb!

haha, it felt so weird and cool at the same time. I really felt I lost my nose and/or lips so I kept poking it reassuring myself it was still there
