Righty, so I went to the dentist yesterday, absolutely bricking it, but i went all the same. Amusingly as i was sitting about at home willing time to stop an hour before i left, London had a mysterious large powercut which rendered everything useless including the tube and all traffic signals *lmao* Unfortunately for me I then had to leg it out the door and down the road on foot. Not even an act of god could save me from my dentisty fate... damn DAMN! XD
Though the dentist phoned and obviously couldn't do much with no power as all their pc's had died too
I got to my nene's house and the power came back on just as i got through the door >o< So the dentist was running 10 minutes behind. But that was a blessing in disguise to me lol.

Anyways yeah, we got to the dentist and it was a really really nice place. I'm not actually scared of the dentists, I'm just scared of the pointy things they tend to have on trays.

To be honest the staff there are some of the nicest people I've met since i moved to London, which really put my mind at ease. (N13 Dental Clinic - i highly reccomend it)We were all joking about and stuff. I said they better lock the window because i was liable to jump out of it.

I've not been to the dentist since before i was 13... so i was morbidly curious to know what condition my teeth were in. I've never ever had anything done to them before, so obviously anything is scary to me as its the unknowing thing that makes me anxious.

Firstly my teeth need a good ol' dentist cleaning as my back teeth bave bad tartar build up which is impossible to brush off. Secondly one of my front teeth has a hole in it with needs filled, thankfully with a white filling, I'm getting that done on Monday.

Thirdly was the news I didn't want to hear -_-; Everyone who'd seen my tooth was like 'oh they'll just fill that or put a cap on it or something' so i wasn't feeling that scared. But they xrayed my broken tooth and because I'd left it so long it's really bad underneath and pretty much poisoned/dying. He said if i'd left it any longer i could have seriously hurt myself. I didn't think it was that bad because it wasn't hurting that much for me to think it was serious. He said he was amazed i didn't have a major abcess since its been like that for about 5-6 years. So i guess I'm lucky (sort of).
Anyway, I have to have a horrible root canal. I know all about them because I read all the gory details. It's the one thing i didn't want.
But yeah it was either that or be taken to the hospital to have it pulled. Unfortunately for me, my tooth is in such bad condition I have to see a specialist and it's private not nhs. Soooo that's 600 something pounds. My surgery is in August...


So tell me, honestly, those of you who've had root canal done before, how much did it hurt compared to other painful things? When people say 'ohhh it didn't hurt' i call BS lol, just tell me the gritty details so i can prepare myself for the horror lol. Of course, if it really DIDN'T hurt, be sure to share that too XD;

The guy said since i was a really nervous patient they would stab me with a few needles worth of numby crap and then give me some kinda strong gas that would make me delerious like being drunk and half asleep to chill me out. Sounds like fun! But this is the dumb part.... I'm actually more scared of the anethesia than the stabby choppy drilly stuff. Why? I dunno? Maybe it's because when I'm drunk it takes a LOT for me to lose my sense of logic/sensibleness. I'm worried it wont be strong enough. I dun wanna be stuck half under drugs and not able to say something is really hurting. The thought of not having 100% control of my own body really freaks me out. Stupid i know. But that's just me.

How much will my face swell up? I've heard i have to go in twice. Yippee. Is the bruising bad? Also, how the HELL are you supposed to swallow painkillers if you cant put stuff in your mouth? ;_; I find it hard enough to swallow tablets.

I've read lots about the proceedure online, i just want to hear personal stories about it.

Although I'm crapping my pants in fear I just keep telling myself that there are people close to me who are going through worse painful things more than just a stupid tooth. But at the same time I'd like to feel a little more wised up on root canal freakyness.

So tell me.

I keep watching this advert to cheer me up every time I get down:
