I have never ever had toothache, that is until Saturday. Sunday morning the pain actually woke me up, by Monday morning I realised I would have to do something about at. I suppose I should have guessed it would be serious, given that I’ve never had that kind of pain before but I have had fillings. It was pretty much as bad as it gets without having an extraction…yep – root canal.
I haven’t had the actual root canal as it’s something which takes a few visits, the dentist here in Christchurch put in a temporary fix and sent me on my way with a wee xray of my tooth, my notes and $180 lighter. It was a bargain when you consider how much pain I could conceivably be in at 30,000 feet in the air on Friday.
Of course the real pain has yet to come – I suspect up to four hundred quid worth of pain….
