Tooth Prying

This is exactly how I felt last Wednesday when I went into the dentist thinking I was fixing a little cavity and in turn found out that the cavity was so bad that not much of my actual tooth was left. I've had a couple root canals, plenty of cavities, veneers put in my front teeth after they shattered, wisdom teeth taken out as well as braces but NOTHING compared to a dentist not pulling but actually prying out my weak and shattered root of my tooth. Oh I cried like a baby. I had I don't know how many shots, blood all over, and so much pressure on my mouth as my dentist was literally PRYING at the root of what was left of my tooth as broken pieces would snap off and land in my mouth or make it out onto my face. This was done over and over again for about 45 minutes. Oh I was saying my prayers!!! This was no "oh, I'm going to get my little pliers and pull your tooth out," this was "I'm going to get my flat-head screw driver, put all of my weight behind this tool and pry that tooth out in bits and pieces." (This is of course the dentist talking.) To top it all off, I had a cavity filled on the opposite side of my mouth while I was waiting for more Novocaine to kick in. That dentist knew how to use his time so efficiently... Since both sides of my mouth had been ripped out (one a little more than the other of course), I've been on a great no eating diet for the past week.
Luckily, I have a sweet sister who has been my dentist counselor. Refer to below picture. She's a dentist expert if anyone needs one.

The good news is that I am still alive. Barely. (The only good thing that came out of this was that I could watch the U.S. Open for the rest of the week:)-Go Nadal.
