Root Canal

This morning my husband got a root canal. A long time ago in a state far far away, he had a severe trauma to his mouth and unbeknownst to him it killed the tooth. Given all the horror stories and the phrase "it's like getting a root canal" we figured I should go with him just in case.

The funny thing is, the experience wasn't painful at all. According to my husband, of course, the only pain was from the injection of the pain killer.

Being myself, I peppered the dentist with questions. She answered them pleasantly, explaining what she was doing as she went. Dental work may play a part in a future novel either as an activity or as a profession.

As for my husband, he said he feels uncomfortable around the injection site, but otherwise feels fine.
