Back from the dentist

I did indeed have to have a root canal. It wasn't as bad as I'd feared. It aches now, but no worse than it did before the dentist worked on it. I think mostly what I'm feeling is the sore spot in the roof of my mouth where he injected the anasthetic. The whole right side of my face is numb. I have to go back in two weeks to build up the tooth and have it crowned. Also for a cleaning. Then, we get started filling cavities, so I hopefully won't need another root canal.
