If you are bored with your regular Sunday mornings, sleeping late, lazy breakfast, reading the Sunday paper and are looking for something new and exciting to try, here is my suggestion: Root canal without local anesthesia and/or pain killers! It is definitely out of the ordinary and it gets your heart pumping!
I went back to the hospital this morning because the tooth wasn't getting any better, in fact it was worse. I've never really been much of a follower when it comes to pain killer recommendations as far as amount is concerned but I gotta say after consuming 4000mg of burana (10x400mg) in 24 hours without long term pain reducing effects when the recommended amount is 1200mg I thought I didn't wanna end up having my stomach pumped or in the poison ward of a hospital if I kept it up for a week till my appointment to see the "real" dentist is...so I went back. And they decided to do an emergency root canal. No pain killers, no local anesthesia...let's just go in there and drill the SOB. It had also been few hours since my last self-medication so that was wearing off as well. It was just good times all around. I think this was my time crying at the dentist. As I said...I recommend!
Then I was given a cocktail of pain meds. The assistant told me that sometimes 2 affecting agents work better together and that I should go get both of them. She didn't say how many times a day I should do it so this should be fun if the pain doesn't go away soon. Now I'm waiting for the pharmacy to open. Oh yeah...I might have to go back if the pain doesn't go away and the tooth doesn't settle in few days. It's gonna be a fun week!
