So I have to have a root canal....went in to get a crown, and it turns out the tooth is cracked, and the pulp and nerve have gotten infected. I don't think it's a big deal, but I'm afraid the vixen will suffer greatly. Just those two words together - root canal - cause her to shudder.
I've never understood people fearing a root canal. I've had two. Both times, the pain leading up to them was gawd awful. The procedure alleviates the pain by removing the root.
However, the pain in the wallet is another matter and is very real.
