so my root canal went Weird

(as is to be expected)

tl:dr is that i have a kidney stone shaped block of construction grade cement in my broken tooth that my hack of a childhood dentist (who literally FLED THE COUNTRY) put in my mouth instead of. oh. i don't know. A FILLING

artist's shitty phone impression of the x-ray:

red is nerves. black is FUCKING SIDEWALK-ASS CEMENT

soooo after hours of trying. the dentist gave up and said come back next week and we'll haul in the head honcho dental dude for my region and get this other guy reported after photos etc are taken

and i was like. uh he's in hong kong.

but apparently as long as i file a report it means others that came forward (if any, and i am sure there are, my entire family had bad experiences with him, but he was dirt cheap) can have more ground to stand on legally so. i'm okay w that

Root Canal Story!

Okay, so my dentist said “We can pull up Netflix if you’d like”. Because despite being on 15 mg of Valium... I was a scared patient.

Me: *immediately types in Newsies* “OH, YAY! BROADWAY!” *almost flaps in excitement but I’m nervous about pain still* *gets shot up with Novocaine after getting a local anesthetic*

All is well, until-

Crutchie: *gets beaten up and taken to the refuge*

Me: *noises of sad and distress and I cry*

Dentist: “Wait, wait, did that hurt? Are you okay? Are you in pain?”

Me, still kinda high on pain meds: “Emotional pain! This is the sad part!”

Dentist: *sigh of relief*

Dental assistant: “Don’t worry, I cry over fictional characters, too.”

I’m going to the dentist tomorrow for a root canal. My tooth has been killing me for months now so I’m half nervous/half relieved. Wish me luck friends.
