Having heard people use root canal as a comparative figure of speech for years, I thought it was going to be really painful. It's just lengthy and unpleasant, which considering everything, isn't such a bad trade. M. took more novocaine for his filling than I did for my r.c. (his appointment was an hour after mine and we were in rooms side-by-side during the latter half of my process). Still think he's a dental wimp, though.

I haven't commented here, only in jorit's and silme's comments, about Bishop Robinson. I'm very proud of the Episcopal Church for electing an openly gay bishop. Unfortuntely this is a time my own congregation is going through some strange and painful stuff which is preoccupying those circuits of my brain.

I have lost track of how many root canals and crowns I have. Soft teeth + soft gums + braces = holes dug in teeth by braces.

Teeth that need root canals hurt like hell as the nerve dies. After that, it only hurts in the wallet, alas. :)

I am such a baby when it comes to the dentist. I've had all sorts of medical procedures but you mention going to the dentist and I'll freak out. Bone marrow aspiration? Kidney biopsy? Sure, go right ahead. Fill a cavity? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I used to get all tensed up in gas stations because the smell reminded me of the gas they used when I had oral surgery as a little kid.

Hurrah for the Episcopal Church :)

Too bad the C of E backed down on the same issue. I so fancied Rowan Williams (the Archbishop of Canterbury), with his liberal ideas. He's also a Guardian reader;)
