DAMN that SUCKED

went to the dentist this morning to have the broken molar pulled. The extraction seemed to be no sweat, no more painful than the last tooth I had pulled.However, the roots broke off and stayed inside their canals, so dr K had to dig around for them and eventually cut them both out, which was very uncomfortable. I have no idea how many times I grunted/ yelled in pain. Apparently there is some kind of limit on how much novacain they can put into you in a single session.Last week, I had briefly considered asking for the gas, but recalling the previous extraction, figured I'd skip it. Needless to say, I was regretting my decision by the time we were through. I also left my camera sitting on my desk, so I don't have any cool pics of the roots, bloody roots. sorry... for me, the most unpleasant part comes not in the dental torture chair, but @ home afterwards. they prescribe some type of super powerful "anti-septic nouth rinse" they want you to swish around the extraction site thrice daily. Not a chore, but It's BLUE. I HATE blue mouthwash.I normally rinse with red or citrus listerene before and after brushing. in a pinch I'll use a mouthful of hydrogen peroxide, but usually, I'm a listerene or scope user.
