Riding miles when your old!

Are you a ginger? From what I’ve read they sometimes need 50% more novacaine than those with different hair colors. Nobody knows why, but it’s a well documented phenomena.
 
Hey Vince. It must be dentist season. I saw my dentist on the same day as you. Only for a regular check and clean on this occasion, but I had a root canal job done last year. It was an old root canal that I had as a teenager that got beyond it's use-by date and had become infected. The abscess wasn't a whole lot of fun so I was keen to get it sorted. My regular dentist thought it was a bit of a tricky job so he referred me to a specialist endodontist. The specialist was very particular about how he did things. If yours is a bit problematic (which it sounds like it probably is) it might be worth talking to your dentist about seeing a specialist.
 
No, dark-haired before it all fell out. It was bloody annoying and painful. Its never happened before, usually one needle and I feel nothing. Mystified the Dentist as well. Years back, I had similar, apparently any infection under a tooth and its nerve has an unpleasant effect. A few decades back, it caused pressure under the tooth, the first antibiotic did nothing and a day later, I was in a very bad way, pain-wise. The dentist changed the antibiotic, and the pain subsided, and a week later, he did the Root Canal. This time I asked for the Dual combined Nuclear Antibiolic and Panadol Fore in case it blows up overnight. I hope to hell this all works out. BTW, that first root canal lasted approximately 10 years till it cracked in half, and I had the rest pulled. I said no more Root canals, but this is next to it, so I want to avoid an even bigger gap in my molars.
 
Root canals are not fun, holding open to the max and all that filing away. She is pretty good, so we will see.
