Ok...so the dentist trip yesterday was umm...interesting. I had 3 problems i wanted him to look at and was totally expecting the worst. Just cause with my teeth...the worst is usually what i get. So he starts looking at one side and asks...
"Nell, have you had popcorn in the last week?"
......Flashback to, oh, like 4-5 days ago when i ate an ENTIRE bag of kettle corn.....
"umm...yeah..." (thinking to myself he's some crazy psychic dentist and what a random question) "but i promise i flossed!"
So he pulls out a piece of floss...and ties a knot in it, and dives right in. Sure enough, pulls out a gigantic piece of popcorn shell that had lodged in my gums between two teeth in the very back. And then he held it up and sang a victory song...and i laughed and felt like an idiot. (My dentist is my uncle and also a little crazy sometimes)
And my other problems are all fixable with a bite gaurd...because apparently i grind my teeth at night, and that also might be the cause of all my headaches lately.
Yay!! No root canal!! Woohoo!
So...next time you eat popcorn...make sure you floss extra carefully before going to the dentist.
Lesson learned.

Nellie-this is Jenelle (Murdoch) Haynie. I found you from Kaja's blog. I was just catching up with your blog. Your little girl is so darling! It sounds like things are going great for you. The whole popcorn thing happens to me too. I have just given up on eating popcorn.
Um, my false alarm root canal was some chicken.
