All I Want For Christmas is My Two Back Teeth...

TO STOP HURTING!!! Seriously! Who knew that a simple filing would turn into agony, pain and torture? Right before we left for Nevada I went in to get a filing and came out a mess. My Dentist said that he hit the nerve when he was doing the filing, but he fixed it and I should be fine. Of course, once I realized I was not fine it was the weekend and no one ever returned my messages on the emergency voicemail.
Even though I had a great time in Nevada, I was poppin pain pills like an addict. Once we got home, I had a message from the dentist saying that for some reason he didn't get my message until that following Monday.....hmmmmm....really???
To make a long story short after trying some quick fixes in hopes of no root canal, nothing worked! I am still poppin the pills. I went in today and the verdict is, "Root canal on Friday morning!"
Yes, I asked the doctor about him "accidentally" hitting the nerve and he said the decay was actually really deep. You bet he is going to say that to save his behind. Overall, he is going to cut some of the cost and hopefully after Friday my Christmas wish will come true. HA HA
