The dentist said it was not a root canal. He said it was a little cavity. I have not had a little cavity in many years. Thus, I did not know what one feels like. However, it has been nine days since my appointment, and the...

Barbara Radisavlejvic @bagarad (14283) • Paso Robles, California 23 Feb 17

Tonight we had a meeting at a friend's winery pertaining to defending our water rights. We got lost on the way because we missed a turn. It was killing me, because we were on the back roads and the sunset was gorgeous. All I...

Root Canal Fears

angel_smiles @Lolaze (5092) • St. Louis, Missouri 18 Apr 16

I've gotten myself in a nice little anxiety attack now. I looked up some videos of root canals and saw how the dentist has to be so close to the patient and basically have their arms encircling their head. A big part of the...
