Root Canal

I was freaking out a couple months ago when the dentist told me I needed a crown. "What! I brush 2 X a day and floss ever day! How could this be?!" Went to get the crown placed on Wednesday, turns out I needed a root canal as well. Left work early yesterday to make it to the Endodontist where my life would soon end.  I didn't think I would make it out of there alive (It is WAY worse getting dental work done when you know exactly what is going on inside your mouth) But, I made it! I am alive and surprisingly in no pain....

I always thought only old people got root canals and crowns. I'm 22.... Does this mean I am getting old? After seeing the $1600 bill I think Jayson and I may look into getting dental insurance...haha Probably should have had that before this all happened but oh well.. You win some, you lose some! Life goes on. I know things could be ALOT worse. I am just grateful to have teeth, even if they are weaker than most.  Jayson gets cavities easily, I get cavities easily...Poor Paislee... But the good news is.. I made it through my first root canal alive!

  1. Kylee I am the same way! I carry around a toothbrush, paste, and floss everywhere I go... but yet the cavities just don't stop coming! Hopefully your sweet baby girl has some stronger teeth :)
