I am seriously so bitter right now... It's been 3 days since my root canal, and the left side of my face (all the way from the ear to the mouth) is still tingly and weird feeling. When I try to smile, I can't get the left side of my mouth to raise-so it just sags. Seriously, can anyone else notice or is it just me? Bryan thinks that I'm over reacting, but this is my smile I'm talking about.I'm just hoping that he didn't do any permanent damage to my nerves. He did give me like 7 numbing injections (one of them being straight up through the nerve). I have NEVER experienced a greater shocking pain in my entire life than with that shot. It really felt like I was being electrocuted through my tooth! It was so bad that the nurse literally had to hold me down.
We'll see what happens... I'm going to call tomorrow and try to figure things out. Wish me luck!
Maria... definitely keep in touch with that endodontist. I worked as a dental assistant for 6 years, and that can happen, but is not normal! Hope you are recovering ok... let me know what I can do. Those shots into the nerve hurt SO bad!
