Seated in an endodontics chair, I listened to the conversation taking place above me. "That was quite an angry tooth, wasn't it?" "Yup, sure was," was the quick reply. "Angry," I asked later, when all the trappings of a root canal were removed from my mouth, "what does that mean?" Apparently it means that I really needed the root canal and let me tell you, I am soooo happy now that it's done. I didn't realize how much I babied that tooth, but now that I can brush my teeth with cold water–Yippee!! I don't however, like the fact that I have the doctor's cell number saved in my contact list. I have spent entirely too much time in his office…this was my sixth procedure and I really, really hope I'm done for a while. Every time I leave the office, I'm told "I hope we don't see you again," and with a numb, lopsided grin my quick reply is always "Me too!" :)
