So, after a weekend of whining and pain, I finally got to the dentist yesterday. He looked at the x-ray and told me I have two choices - a root canal or have the tooth pulled. As I feel like I'm still too young (and not white trash enough) to have missing teeth, I opted for the root canal. It wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be but it still sucked pretty bad. Overall, the hole they put in my pocketbook hurt worse than the hole they put in my face. The pain meds make me rather loopy and nauseous so I'm going without while I'm at work today. I went to band practice last night while on them and it made all the songs come out like something by BJM (which was kinda cool, actually.)
