AHHHHHHHH!

So the scariest month of the year begins with one of the scariest of events for me. Some time ago one of my fillings fell out. When I went to the dentist they found some tooth decay forming in the cavity. So, today I went to the dentist to have it cleaned and the filling replaced.

I got shot with three different anesthetics for a total of I don't know how many shots in my gums and roof of my mouth, but it was no good the decay was too deep and they couldn't continue. As a result, I will have to undergo a root canal tomorrow morning at the endodontist. I cannot describe in words how much I hate going to the dentist.

It was always torture as a kid. Now I have to undergo one of the most historically undesirable procedures in oral hygiene. I had my wisdom teeth removed already and I was less nervous about that--probably because I knew they were going to knock me out. But all I will get tomorrow is a local anesthetic--right into the nerve in my tooth. AHHHHHHH!
