What canal???

Okay, some of you may be wondering what it is like to have a root canal. Actually, most likely you aren't. However, since I have now experienced one I figure that I will share.

So, if you think that getting drugged up, holding your mouth open for two hours while a strange man places a "rubber dam" over your mouth and sticks 6 different sized drills in your mouth to grind away at the only part of your tooth that actually has feeling, Then root canals are for you! By the way, I definitely recommend valium for such an experience! Here is a link that gives an account of the typical root canal. Warning...it has pictures!
