The stuff really does work.

When I was a kid, the Dentists always had the smell of cloves. Now, every time I smell the stuff, I get a flashback emotion of a nine year old about to get a shot novocain. :eek:

It's done!

Sorry to anyone that is reading this and is about to get a root canal but it hurt a fair bit and it's fairly painful at the moment (I must add when it comes to pain I am a coward

) but I'm sure that's me well on the way to recovery. I think they earthed me which is new! Fun and games.

Thanks to you all for supporting the whining Scotsman! I appreciate it.

Now where's my ibuprofen...........

My sympathies for you.
My family has folks in the dental field. 1 hygienist, 2 CDA, 1 clinic manage/emergency asst. Alas none as a dentist or specialist to support my kilt buying or hobbies.
