This morning I had a root canal.  My tooth broke in half about a month ago and I have had a temporary since then.

I was at the dentist for about three hours.  I was "lucky" because my tooth had four roots instead of the normal three.  They also found a crack in the tooth next to it so they sealed that as well.

I was really sick afterward so I stayed home for the day.  I was super dizzy and nauseated.  The numbness didn't wear off completely until early evening.

They recommended I take ibuprofen for the next two weeks to keep the swelling down until I go and get the permanent crown.

It was nice to spend the afternoon at home.  I wish I would have felt better to enjoy it.
