Now I'm sure there is a second root, let me try drilling a bit more."

"As long as we have to let the medicine sit for a few minutes we'll go ahead and fix the one on the other side. How you doing OK? Now don't close!"

I was in the chair for two full hours and he was right, I never felt a thing! I had the initial root canal back in mid December and he couldn't find the second root. He put something in there to soften it up and I gather that was what turned blue. I had to cancel my last appointment due to snow. Meanwhile I broke a tooth. I like my dentist and he is very good but I hope not to see him again until my next cleaning.

Don't you love it when they ask you a question? "uh huh, aah, oaoh uuh"....and they know exactly what you said :)
ReplyDeleteIn November I lost a big filling, had it replaced, and then lost it again 10 days later, and had to do it all over again. Fun!
Two hours is a long time to hold your mouth open! Good luck staying away :)
I've never had a root canal but here they can be very painful. Congrats on having a good dentist that gives you enough drugs so you can't feel a thing!
