FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT

I went for my follow up dental appointment on Saturday. I wished I didn’t have to go, but I didn’t want to be a non-compliant patient/ defaulter. Spent almost an hour & a half on what I call the “electric chair”. The dentist gave me LA before he started drilling & digging deep into the root canal of my affected tooth. Although there wasn’t any pain, I could feel the amount of pressure the dentist applied. It felt as if my oral cavity was the bonnet of a car & the dentist a mechanic trying to fix a defective component of the car engine.

I felt pain after the LA weaned off & had to take analgesics again.

It is no fun being a patient.
