Root Canal


Lately I have been having problems with my lower left tooth (Dr call it "lower left 6"). It seems that there is a hole that is so big you can park a minibus there. I am no sure how it turned so bad but I am guessing that diet coke might be the culprit.

Anyhow, yesterday I went to see panel doctor and she was 'rough'. I love a bit of roughness on bed but as a dentist, that is the last thing you would want (trust me). She injected anesthetic to my cheek and asked me to wait for 10mins. After a while, she started to clean my teeth and it was damn painful (with a capital "F"). I guess she saw it on my face and body movement that she stopped to asked if I am ok. Told her that it's very painful and she said "well how?"Bastard, I asked for another appointment and told her I got stuff to do. I am never gonna come back there.

Today I visited my personal dentist, he is a cool guy. Told him my problem and he explains to me what's going to happen. He took an x-ray of my tooth and told me I need to do a root canal. For temporary measure, he cleaned the cavity and put cement on it. Gave me some painkiller and asked me to come back tomorrow. Everything was painless and fast.

It is gonna cost me 800 bucks for the root canal but I think it is worth it. I will never go back to the b***h.
