to do a root canal on me without novocaine.

Needless to say, in the fifty years since I have been very reluctant to ever go to a dentist.

so our dentist was not allowed to give us shots. No root canal but fillings, we were not Crest kids. I too have a big problem going to the dentist. I need to go, need a root canal after breaking a molar tooth and not getting it fixed. Still putting it off. I like the gas and I like having the shots but there is just something about going that almost makes me cry. Really a dumb move, Mother.
