It got me through an extraction and the first root canal. Even if you get just enough to get you through the novocaine, it's a big help in getting over The Fear. Plus, when you're done they give you oxygen and you're good to go!LiseOrLisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10412355454757891066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-30847243755269819492008-04-08T18:21:00.000-05:002008-04-08T18:21:00.000-05:00take care, you are in my thoughts.

As for the arena, I'm hoping to set up a time with Mr. K this week to come by and do some work. I'll update on that as soon as I can. <BR/><BR/>Beckz and RR,<BR/><BR/>Glad to know I'm not the only one who is a big baby about this kind of stuff!<BR/><BR/>Haffie Girl,<BR/><BR/>It's not the feeling pain thing that's going to get me. It's thinking about what they are doing in there that's going to freak me out. They are going to have to put me under I think, cause I'm either going to have a breakdown or pass out. Yeah, it's dumb but I can't help it!<BR/><BR/>Katee,<BR/><BR/>Just get one of those panorama x-rays. Dr. Cutie told me that someone should have done one before now and we might have picked this up sooner. Also he said it's rare so I'm sure you'll be fine.Dressage Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13741448152235721941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-32236991330818885452008-04-08T10:21:00.000-05:002008-04-08T10:21:00.000-05:00I've got great teeth, too.

Neither of your options sound good to me. It's Tuesday so you're there now. My thoughts are with you!Kateehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03539642068473264986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-89763994377970142602008-04-08T10:20:00.000-05:002008-04-08T10:20:00.000-05:00I had two root canals, so if that's what you need ...I had two root canals, so if that's what you need I can assure you that it's not a big deal. I didn't feel anything after the first novocaine shot (and that didn't even really hurt - injections don't hurt very much in your mouth for some reason). The worst part is sitting with your mouth open for an hour (which, again, isn't really that bad in the grand scheme of things). <BR/><BR/>I hope you just need the root canal because the other stuff sounds a lot scarier. You are in my thoughts :)<BR/><BR/>And if it makes you feel any better - I'm a "passer outer" too. This weakness makes medical school a little difficult at times :)<BR/><BR/>Good luck!

So bad in fact that my husband goes with me to get my procedures done. And it's ok and your trip will get ok too. One way or the other, you'll get this thing out of the way and then not have to worry about it anymore.<BR/><BR/>I'll be thinking about you, sending supportive vibes your way.Rising Rainbowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04239592070775412669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28335578.post-53246730091711723702008-04-07T23:40:00.000-05:002008-04-07T23:40:00.000-05:00Holy cow.
