Apr. 11, 2007 ~ Contrary to popular opinion, I DO still post once in a while
We went to the Endodontist earlier today to see how the ol' mouth is doing. (The Endodontist is the doctor that specializes in working with the roots of teeth, in case you were like me and didn't know....) First off, he said that I'm going to need two root canals this week, which doesn't sound fun. Some of my teeth are turning gray, too, so they're going to have to be bleached. He said I'll likely have another root canal in the future, depending on how long it takes for my 'eye tooth' to die. All this was determined by the aptly named, but rather crude, 'cold test'. Dr. Garabadian (even his name sounds evil....) sprayed a big lump of some sort of dry ice concoction onto one of those long, sharp, metal instruments of torture that teeth doctors always have around, and pressed it onto each of my teeth.
Doc: "Okay, tell me when you feel this. If the tooth is healthy, you should have an immediate strong reaction. Does this hurt?"
Me: "Aaaaah!"
Doc: *Rubs chin* "That one's doing well. Okay, what about this?"
Me: *Tries to answer with long instrument in his mouth* "Dus a litta bet."
Doc: "And this?"
Me: "No."
Doc: "This?"
Me: "Nawt mush."
Doc: "Aaaaaand.... last one."
Me: *Jerks back* Aaaaaah!
You know, they should figure out a better way to decide if I need surgery then seeing how bad my teeth can hurt.

Isn't it annoying when you have to talk to the DENTIST?!?!? I mean come on, it's torture to have to talk with a hundred little foreign objects protruding out of your mouth. =]
Happy Friday!

Ouch. I was hurting just reading that! When I was little, the hygentist would ask me questions, and I'd try to answer, (you know, trying not to be rude to the lady, even though she's partly causing the pain in my then- little girl mouth), and the dentist would be all "Don't move. Don't try to talk." It's so annoying!
I got a pulpectomy when I was seven. That hurt. My entire tooth was covered in the silver filling stuff. Thankfully, it was in the back on my mouth, and it fell out a couple years back.
It just kind of occured to me that talking about the dentist and teeth isn't the best way to talk to someone when you first "meet" them.... sorry. :-)

I totally agree with you. Bowling, pizza and mountain dew is the life... as long as it doesn't involve any mouth specialists. =D

I'm glad you explained what an Endodontist was, or else I would probably search for it's meaning all over the internet!
Yup, having two root canals sounds HORRENDOUS!
And bleaching teeth? That's never happend to me afore... but I've never had a root canal either, nor a cavity... oy, I'm one luky duck!
Dr. Garabadian, does sounds like a evil crazy scientist name, doesn't it?
Especially cense they always have "long, sharp, metal instruments of torture" as well...

ouch! that sounds like a rough break. hope your mouth is doin better though. i just got back from the orthodontist today and he was supposed to take my braces off.... but he decided to let me go another few weeks. that is the mark of a good dentist though... they do everything they can until the last moment.

Aaugh!!
That sounds...... horrible!
Gosh, I’m glad you're not driving yet... no offence, but a magnet for calamity such as yourself should stay...um... somewhere safer than a drivers seat.
Even I, super-talented as i am, managed to hit a curb today... *shudder* I suppose if it had been you driving your head would have fallen off or something...
We're still praying for you, lol
