Bad news....I am a big weenie


Went to the dentist. About as bad I imagined. I have to have SO much work done. It makes me resent my husband who has terrible dental hygiene but has PERFECT teeth. Jerk. I was so upset I burst into tears and was a blubbering mess in front of the doc. It embarassed even him I think. (Can you say postpartum hormones?) I have to go in next week for a ROOT CANAL! I am so scared. He actually prescribed me a sedative to take for the procedure because I was suck a mess. Poor poor me.

My husband hasn't been to the dentist in seven years. He has the same issues as you. He says everytime he goes, it hurts MORE afterward.

Regarding the needle, now they numb you first with some topical stuff. Then they do the needle. It is much less painful than it used to be.

Trust me. I am a needle weenie.

I had a root canal once and it was true what my dentist told me before he did it: it hurt more before than it did to get it done.

I hate the dentist, but mine is cool. And he knows I hate him for what he does to me, but he doesn't mind.
