I have a few minutes, have not exercised since getting a tooth pulled in a horrendous experience. The dentist was good, and he said the root canal through the crown had been done in Tennessee very well, textbook well. But..."Welcome to the 10% of people whose root canals don't take." So he could do another root canal through the crown and I might still be in the 10%. Or...we can extract it.

"Extract it. Can you do it right now?"

"Sure."

"Can I have the gas?"

"Sure."

"Thank you."

hssssssssssssssssssssss.....................

"Oh, yeah."

It still hurt when they started drilling, sawing, cutting ligaments, hammering, snipping, and pulling.

It still hurts a week later.

Next week I get some fillings on either side of the hole. More hssssssssssssssssssssssssssss....
