Had my woot canow (err, root canal) this morning and it went really well. Granted the novocain hasn't worn off yet, but other than taking about twice as long the experience wasn't significantly different than getting a filling.

I was lucky though. I didn't have any sort of infection or pain prior to the procedure. Most people get root canals because their tooth is causing them agony. I got mine because a regular (though much delayed) checkup found the tooth on the edge of infection.

I'll let you know tomorrow how the experience turned out, along with an update on Rachel who, totally outdoing me in the realm of oral surgery, is getting all four of her wisdom teeth extracted tomorrow.
