In a few hours I will be going through a root canal. ugh. I'm scared. I'm mad... mad at myself for not catching this thing sooner. I've only had one cavity ever, and that was a little over a year ago. I had that cavity filled, then the filling broke. I didn't know. I had a feeling something was wrong, but I ignored it. They didn't catch it during my routine cleaning. And this last cleaning I went to, I happened to mention that my tooth felt a little different where I had my filling. Sure enough, they checked, and the filling was cracked or broken...not doing its job. They told me to come back for a new one. Two weeks later, I went back and as the dentist is taking the old filling out she wanted another x ray done, and then she tells me that I need a root canal. What? ugh, so here we are today. I am dreading this!

Oh I hate going to the dentist almost as much as I hate going for the woman exam! It is annoying...I almost want to drink margaritas before I go so I don't feel anything....haha :) They always find something to make money. Good luck and fast healing!! :)
thank you Miss Shelley
