an unfortunate dental milestone

Here's my advice for anyone who's getting a root canal:
Don't watch a video of the procedure on YouTube the night before.
Even if it is a cartoon.
I had an emergency root canal today. It involved a cracked tooth, not decay, lest you think all those circus peanuts are to blame.

It was my first root canal, and I feel like this means I have one foot in an early grave.

What's next, wooden teeth?

(That one's for you, Kate)

ps. It didn't hurt.
I am so, so thankful for laughing gas and anesthesia.
