If you've ever had a root canal you probably have had one of three experiences:
#1 it was the worst procedure of your life verging on excruciating pain the entire time.
#2 eh, it wasn't so bad...I've had worse.
#3 it was the most beautiful dental experience of your life because you said "yes" to happy gas.
Yesterday I had a root canal. If I hadn't experienced #1 (twice) I wouldn't have known what a beautiful thing having a root canal really can be. The main difference? Happy gas...I take level 40. The second main difference? I actually went to an endotontist rather than a regular dentist. From start to finish the whole thing was over in one hour. I left that endotontist having thanked him over 20 times. Was I a little loopy from the happy gas? Yes, but that still doesn't change the fact that I was thankful. Truly thankful. Am I in pain today? Of course. Am I scared to death of root canals so I hold off going to the dentist for three more years? Nope. Thank you, Dr. Madsen. If I told you I love you would that be too much? Maybe the happy gas is still talking.
