I arrive at the dentist for my root canal. IPod touch in hand the nurse whisks me away to torture room #3. She applies some topical anesthetic to my gums and cheek area. This isn't to numb the tooth for drilling, nope, this is just to numb the area for the 3 injections I'm going to get to numb the tooth for drilling. It takes about 5 minuets for the anesthetic to start working so I setup my IPod for surgery. I've got tons of music, lots of podcasts and the latest Dan Brown audiobook. So, what goes best with high pitch drilling noise and the smell of burning calcium?

Aftermath of the Oxtail Incident - Part 1
Monday Morning. It's been an agonizing night. My cracked tooth has kept me up most of the night. Popping Advil is no longer a viable option. Time to go to the dentist. I hate going to the dentist!! A visit to the dentist is never fun. A dentist appointment in your calendar never has a smiley face next to it. You never brag to your friends about your upcoming dentist visit! Ok, so I'm a little stressed but I have to get this taken care of. I'm off to culinary school in less than two weeks and can't afford to be distracted by a broken tooth. Which dentist do I go to? I haven't been to a dentist in over 2 years.
