My second surprise root canal involved tooth feeling a bit grumpy on the way to a friend's new house in Boston right before Worldcon, at a time when I was living in Silicon Valley. On the first day of Worldcon it suddenly made me feel very glad that I routinely carried lovely British non-prescription codeine with me, so I sent a "help!" email to my dentist. Fortunately they trusted me to know when I had an abscess and the antibiotic prescription was waiting for me at the nearest WalGreen when we got back to friend's house in the evening.
Agreeing with the theory that dentist was getting confused about the difference between "ferrous" and "ferromagnetic".
