The dentist took an X Ray of the tooth that has been bothering me and sure enough the filling has to be replaced and I am going to need root canal treatment. I also need another filling replaced. When the receptionist told me that my next appointment is to be half an hour long I winced visibly, and she said "Oh don't worry, he'll probably spend at least ten minutes of it talking!"
The last (and only) time that I had root canal treatment was in the 1990s and I remember going to the dentist week after week after the initial filling. At each visit he would take out the temporary filling and prod at the tooth until the nerve was finally dead and I got the permanent filling. It was not fun and the boys used to make fun of the way I spoke with my numb mouth - "No thweeths boyth!" (No sweets!) I don't know if methods have changed - I will find out soon!
Thirty minutes might seem forever while having a root canal, but at least you’ll get that bother out of the way – hopefully for years to come. Anyway, I hope the whole thing was a breeze, and the dentist finished well before thirty minutes – after his chat, of course. Haha! Good day!
