I treasure my ignorance of the arts of orthodontics, and remembering "Marathon Man" I am not inclined to research the subject! 
Hope it goes well, but for me at least it was no problem, and the relief was immediate and permanent.

Thanks a lot, now I remember that too.  But Dustin Hoffman wins in the end (as I recall), so maybe there is hope.

No luck there. They're going in from the top, and clean out the roots with tiny files.
And if you're having a hole in the side aswell I'm willing to bet on that you will need a dental crown. (done that)
You have my sympathies.

You are right, he went in from the top. He finished up an hour ago and there really was not a lot of pain. The anesthesia has almost worn off and I am still pain free. 
In two weeks I have to go back in to get a permanent seal put over the hole on the side.

No pain and, from what i interpret, no crown.
In all the bad luck you're a lucky bastard.

Hmmm...thank you (I think).

I had the procedure done about an hour ago. Like you said, I only have a bit of an ache in the jaw from keeping my mouth open. Other than that, it really wasn't bad at all.

Ensure you have an Endodontist performing the procedure and not your local dentist. If it is your dentist it would be like having your GP performing a knee reconstruction.

I am pretty sure that is what he is, but it's hard to know for sure. I had it done (in my second home) in Mexico and the doctors here just love using those long titles and this one had that title displayed all over the place.

Thanks. It's all done and paid for by now. I am back home and don't have any pain.

Blake was vegetarian, as was Milton, Newton, Shelley, Wordsworth, Charles Darwin, George Bernard Shaw, H.G. Wells.
No, I do not advocate vegetarianism.

I knew a "vegetarian" once who made an exception for bacon sandwiches. It's bacon, I understood.

Yeah I want me some of that? When I go to the fridge late at night for a bacon snake and the fridge light goes out I won't have any problems spotting the goods.
Why in the hell would they do that?

Maybe they have a big problem with Bacon Butty thefts - and this way they just have to look for a telltale glow around the perpetrators teeth, tummy, and whatnot?

Simple, actually. Pigs are reasonably similar to humans physiologically-speaking. Apart from giving us the bacon, they're subjected to all kinds of test on our behalf. There's been a number of efforts over the past few years to introduce genes from other glow-in-the-dark animals to pigs, I actually thought it was a repost of an years-old news item, until I realized the whole animal had been affected, rather than just the snout and feet(perhaps ears, I forget). After I read the similarities that we have and why testing on pigs made sense, it stopped sounding perverse and moved over into the odd category for me.
Or, as the article says: "The ultimate goal of the research is to introduce beneficial genes into larger animals to create less costly and more efficient medicines."
