I went to the dentist for a cleaning and X-rays. They found that the two root canals I had done when I was younger didn't get filled in all the way and they're infected and have been infected for years. The infection has eaten a hole in my sinus cavity. So gross... The dentist said the infection just drains into my sinuses. But that explains why they don't hurt all that often. The "best case scenario" is that they have to re-do the root canals. I don't know what the worst case scenario would be. He said something about them having to "do them surgically" but I'm not sure what he meant by that. So I guess I'll know more when I go to the specialist on Tuesday.
See that's why I hate the dentist. Just a simple cleaning turns into something major. Those root canals hurt so bad, I don't want to go through that shit again.
Then I got a bill from my dental insurance for $80 because the dentist filled in a cavity with a tooth colored filling instead of a silver one. I hope the tooth colored stuff is better!!
