Hi Everybody. I'm having trouble seeing how this grid has that many words in it. I'm supposed to be writing a report, but I work on this grid when I get stuck with my report. Usually Babble helps me think & write better, but not this grid!

Hi Min! Doing okay except with this meeting I'm supposed to run tomorrow (which I found out about less than 3 hours ago). The guy I'm filling in for has more info to cover than we have time for, especially since we have a presenter too!
7:54 pm
Minveryork
Good look with your meeting tomorrow. I know teachers who were told they have 2 do a workshop with no notice

I am on pins and needles tonight because I have to get 3 route canals done tomorrow. I'm really nervous about it!

Went to get a regular cleaning.Left with an appointment for emergency root canal.Has anyone here ever had one?

Yes I've had a root canal, Min. Well it's not pleasant.

hi folks - min, i've had one and had no problem at all, just sore the day after. coincidence, i have another scheduled for wednesday
8:00 pm

Dentist told me I would just be a little sore and to take a Tylenol or Advil afterward.Dentist doesn't give narcotics.
8:00 pm

first one was so easy that the one on wednesday is scheduled after work and i plan on back thursday morning

Hello doseffing! How are you doing? Welcome to the grid
8:03 pm

I've never had one; but my kids have had many of them (they take after DH that way). I think my daughter has had about 12 at least. She would take any & all meds they gave her plus the nitrous oxide, plus she used headphones as distraction. Plan on sleeping the rest of the day.

8:05 pm

Oh Min, DEFINITELY get the nitrous oxide because you will be on cloud 9.
8:05 pm

I asked them to put me under. They said they just use a local anesthetic.Such a baby when it comes to my teeth.
8:05 pm
welki
it's hard work staying in one position for an hour, or an hour and a half
8:06 pm
72 Temple Owl
if you are no infected, piece of cake.
8:06 pm

Oh I agree, go ahead & get the full anesthesia.
8:06 pm
doseffing
... even if you're not all the way under ... you're going to feel miserable when you're done and you won't concentrate on the driving ... you can get from point A to B but you're going to be paying attention to how sore your mouth feels not to the traffic ... ...

rururocks
who wants to be in pain.. not me
8:08 pm
welki
i agree with owl
8:08 pm
welki
but i wasn't in pain, ru - the worst pain was from the anesthetic injection
8:08 pm
Minveryork
My dentist said I would be sore, but it is not painful. So I asked him if he was just telling me that to make me feel better. So it has different effects on different people.
8:09 pm
welki
(and that wasn't even so bad - he numbed the area with a topical first)
8:09 pm
Minveryork
Congratulations harpjane on your fireworks!Good for you
8:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
the pain is BEFORE. after only soreness in the area of jaw. root gone = pain gone.
8:09 pm
rururocks
well.. mine was painful.. sorry.. before and after
8:09 pm
72 Temple Owl
oh but you are exceptional, ru.
8:09 pm
welki
not minimizing your pain, ru - but don't want to scare the bejeezus out of min
8:10 pm
Minveryork
That is what my dentist said. Anesthesia shot would hurt the most. I am soo0oo hoping he is right. But I am such a baby and my teeth are oh so very sensitive!
8:10 pm
rururocks
(says a prayer for minver)
8:10 pm
rururocks
I'm an exceptional weeny TO when it comes to pain
8:10 pm
Nef
I once tried driving home (after oral surgery) when I lived Up North in the hinterlands here in MN. It's a distance of about 50 miles; but once I got in the car, I realized that there was no way I could drive home! I called a friend who lived there & asked if I could sleep at his place that night (I'm not a safe driver on anything stronger than tylenol)
8:11 pm
welki
he'll paint your gums with a topical anesthetic, let it sit for about 5 minutes to let the area get numb. then he'll inject the anesthetic, will probably pull your cheek a bit to distract you - it's not pleasant, but only for a few seconds
8:12 pm
72 Temple Owl
no offense but min, listen to welki. if you do not have a roaring abces - and they would probably not do the root canal until after they gave yo ua coruse of antibiotics in that case- you will be fine. the worst part is holdin gyour mouth open!
8:12 pm
welki
then, once the anesthetic takes full effect, he'll tackle the root canal - you'll probably be watching tv. the most disturbing thing about it is the sound from the dental instruments
8:12 pm
Minveryork
The dentist won't give me anything for pain. He just told me to take Advil or Tylenol. It's been over 10 yrs since I bought Advil or Tylenol. I never have to use it.
8:13 pm
welki
that's all i've ever taken, min - tylenol
8:13 pm
welki
and he'll be able to give you some samples before you leave - remind him
8:13 pm
72 Temple Owl
you won't even need that in all likelihood. i have had 8 of them fornt and back. i had an accident that killed many teeth.
8:13 pm
Nef
People react differently to pain. My daughter has problems with teeth pain; my son doesn't. For him root canals weren't such a big deal; but if he got burned or a cut on his hands, he was a big baby!
8:14 pm
Minveryork
Thank you welki from not want wanting the scare the bejeezus out of me, but I would rather be scared and know what to expect than to think it will be a breeze and it turns out to be an absolute nightmare for me.
8:14 pm
welki
this is like asking a bunch of women how labor feels - you'll hear more horror stories than fairytales
