AHH The Dentist!!

So today I had a lovely experience at the Dentist. Let me start out by saying that I absolutely love my Dentist. He is my in-laws Bishop and is a wonderful man so nothing against you Dr. Hoover! Anyway, I have a root canal that has been giving me issues for about 6 months now. Since we own our own Company it's not worth it fo us to pay for expensive Dental Insurance. Dr. Hoover has tried everything to avoid having to do a root canal on my tooth but since I've been living on Loratabs for the past two weeks we've decided it's time. So usually Dr. Hoover gives me the Lidocain shot that numbs your mouth but today he was busy so his hygienest did it. (No, Nicole and Steven it wasn't Kristen but I wish it was.) She goes to give me the shot in my cheek and I feel the sharpest pain clear to my ear. I seriously had tears rolling down my face. Dr. Hoover comes in after about 5 minutes to work on my mouth and I can't open up wider than about an 1/2 inch. My jaw was locked and I couldn't get it open! He had to sit there and rub my jaw because the Hygienest put the shot directly into my muscle causing it to lock on me. It was so freaky! I kept asking him "Are you sure it will go away?" Finally he forced one of those bite things on the other side of my mouth and my jaw litterally popped into place. My jaw is sore now but I can open it again! YAY!! I'm so glad I'm done for a while.
