Root Canal

Well, I just finished having my first root canal today. It was a big step and a hard thing to deal with but so worth not having any more pain in my mouth. It started a few weeks ago when I started having a bit of a toothache. I waited about a week and until it was pretty painful before going to the dentist(mainly because we don't have dental insurance) I finally went for a check up and found out I needed a root canal. I scheduled it for about a week and a half later but by the next day I just couldn't bear the pain any more. I called after hours on a Saturday and my wonderful dentist called in some pain medicine and antibiotics to help last me until Monday. On Monday at about 1 p.m. they started the root canal and removed the "root" of the problem. Thank goodness for a good friend being able to babysit and for my dentist. Then just today it was finished and I am so glad that it is behind me. It wasn't a really bad one in a way because it didn't have a huge cavity on top of it just a very large filling that just wasn't doing its job anymore. Yeah! I made it:)
