oral surgery 101

I had an emergency root canal today. The doctor was nice and took time to explain everything he would be doing to my tooth- since I had a small anxiety attack in his chair. I had not mentally prepared myself for the root canal which proved to be a big mistake.

Here's what I learned from his lesson:

1. ouch

2. Ouch

3. OUch

4. OUCh

5. OUCH

I'm kind of an oral surgery expert now. I have 3 weeks to prep myself for the second phase of the root canal. I bet you didn't know that they do root canals in two phases, did you? Ah ha- you learned something too!
