So neither of us have been to the dentist in a few years. She has some really bad anxiety about it. So she is really on edge today. I'm off work, but then declined the option. Daughter just got over a strep throat, and now son has it.
I was excited to see this SVX in traffic the other day. I think they are getting rare.

They certainly are getting rare, especially ones in nice condition like that one. It doesn't help that they were fairly rare to begin with. I saw two out on the road one weekend this past summer. They have quite a presence on the road.
Also, good luck to your wife for her root canal.

The dentist could give her Valium if her anxiety is really bad...

I cannot into dentist. I'm not afraid of needles or going to the doctor but I freak out at the thought of going to the dentist. I go about once every 5 years and even then I have a hard time. Last time I went was 2011 and before that 1999.
In that 12 year stint between 1999 & 2011 I only had 3 minor cavities so screw this going every 6 months bullshit.

Getting rare? Those have been rare since they came out. I don't think I've ever seen one.

I am a dentist. I just finished doing a root canal 5 minutes ago. They are typically pretty easy for the patient unless the tooth is super infected. Sometimes it can be difficult to get a "hot" tooth completely numb until it is opened up. Valium or triazalam work great for nerves. Best of luck to you and your wife!

Thanks for the reply.

I guess it actually took less time than some fillings it seems. But she'll have to get it capped soon or something.
What I didn't mention is that she has a horrible gag reflex and a dentist putting instruments in her mouth and working in there is hard for her to cope with. I was glad I could be with her today to calm her a bit. But our daughter got her first trip to see dentist and she did good.
Some things the dentist mentioned on last visit is a small breathing tube, or throat, 8 cavities & need for a root canal. Dentist thinks wife may be having acid reflux at night and sitting on the teeth overnight.
No offense but seeing a dentist isn't something we look forward to.

I am glad it turned out okay! Some of those sedative medications also help with the gag reflex. I have a bad gag reflex too, so I can definitely relate.
