Root Canals and Ugly Pictures of Me. You want to see this. Okay, maybe you don't.

4.28.2011

Dun Dun Dun.

This was me last year getting my first root canal. I was a little scared.

I had to sit in the dreaded dentist chair again on Tuesday.

I had 3 root canals scheduled...but I just had two. Which means, I have to spend more money to get gassed all up again in a month or two. Oh the joy.

I gave it my best scrunchy scared bloated face.

You know you wish you looked this good. Angelina Jolie has some competition! HA HA! Totally kidding.

Hello world! :)

After the appointment, I went home and cuddled with my babies.

I find it hilarious when people's mouth's are numb. Especially my own.

LOL! This one is disgustingly awesome.

Pretty great sad face yeah? It got me a vanilla shake that's for sure. :)

I find it hilarious when I look like complete and utter CRAP.

Yes, I'm "fake" sleeping. Piper isn't though.

They took great care of me :)

& I hope my ugly pictures make you feel a whole lot prettier. If not, then I hope that it made you smile.

I like to make people smile.

My mouth still hurts like a mother trucker.

AND if I'm MIA from the blog, it's for good reason. Promise.

But you can still follow me on twitter! @shalynnelson

Kees kees!


P.s.) & for the record...I do brush my teeth. I floss them too. I just have very, very, very bad genes. Promise. Three root canals down, one to go. $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ :(

    only you can be a cute root canal patient. I dont think you look bad AT ALL!

    could be worse. you could be me in 4 months when I have to get all 4 wisdom teeth taken out so that I look like a fat ass chipmunk!

    I hope your procedures went okay! and hey, you got a milkshake! :)

    If that's your "ugly", you are lucky!! My ugly pictures would probably cause my blog to malfunction or something...

    OUCH! Glad to see that everything went well though! And seriously, your definition of looking like crap and mine must be totally different because even after all that dental work and a numb mouth you still look stinkin cute! Hope you get to feeling better!

    OOOOWWWW!!! that sounds like the least fun thing ever.

    I think I'd have a panic attack if I had to have one root canal.

    Oh and you don't look bad in even one of those pictures! not fair!!!!

    So sorry about your root canals and I know the money that can be spent at a dentists office, but hope you feel on the up and up very soon! Might I add that you looked adorable even through it all!

    I was at the dentist earlier and my mouth FINALLY stopped being numb. Totally the weirdest feeling and eating was such a task!

    Well, at least you survived it, hehehe. Root canal scares the heck out of people, but frankly it's quite a simple and common dental procedure. You can ask your dentist next time on less painful alternatives like sedation dentistry.

    Being a dentist you might also have to perform certain surgeries. Dental scaler

    Nice answers in replace of the question with real point of view and explaining about that. 24 hr emergency dentist

    If you are in pain you will be seen the same day. A referral to the orthodontist is not considered an emergency. You may want to call and they can put you on a call list and if someone breaks or cancels an appointment, they can call you right in. Find out more: https:gotoothache.com .
