Wednesday: Root canal.

[asher63]

Last August I was having some mild pain in my back teeth on the left side. I'd just had a dental cleaning and check-up with my local dentist, Dr. G., but I went back to have him take a look. He did some tests and took a few more X-rays, and suggested I make an appointment with an endodontist, Dr. V

I hope it continues to heal well and not cause you any grief! It's great that it went so well for you. *hugs*

Whereas I had mild twinging pain on a rearward tooth on my right side, which slowly worsened, so I went to see my dentist, who basically said ¡Sangre de Dios!  It wasn't a cavity, it was a supervillain secret lair - the tooth looked like a crochet hook.

“We can't even do a root canal, here,” she said.

“So, you're talking extraction.”

“Ah…   yah.”

I shrugged.  “Okay - go for it.”  BFD, y' know?  I didn't care; I could spare it.  So she yanked that sucker right out.  Anesthesia, sure, but I still felt that tremendous pull, and pop.Only thing that bugged me was, they wouldn't let me keep the tooth.  Some new law, biohazard, whatever.  Didn't seem right
