tooth update part 57

We’ll I’ve tried to refrain from writing about my tooth, but… well… sorry. Today I go to see the Root Canal Specialist. I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve been to the dentist at this point. I even went to another dentist (who I plan on switching to) for a second opinion.

As it stands, I still have an abscessed tooth. I just finished my 3rd round of antibiotics and the pain is pretty minimal. The problem is that it may not be the original tooth that is abscessed. It seems that when my original dentist did the filling on my second tooth at the time of the root canal, he put in a big filling that is apparently sitting on the nerve of my tooth. So the specialist will determine which tooth it is that is infected and hopefully we’ll know where to go from there.

I think that I’m about at the point where I tell them to pull them all and I’ll just eat all my meals in liquid form from now on.

    I hate tooth pain. Can you get any of your money back for botched dental work? It can’t be normal to set a filling on a nerve.

    I’m so sorry you have to go through this. I had so much dental work. It included two root canals. Trust me, the root canals were the least painful things I had done.

    I hope you get better soon!

    What a bummer, Allie. I hope they are at least compensating you for the dentist’s indiscretion. You really shouldn’t have to pay for his mistake!

    I totally agree that it would be nice to not have teeth and not have to worry about it. Except I ki.nd of don’t want to not have any teeth.

    I hope it all gets sorted out soon,,, I’d switch dentists after those shenanigans, too.

    OOOOOOO. I am Sooooo Sorry!
    I have one root canal – not my favorite thing! And the pain in my jaw tells me more expense and extreme discomfort is on the horizon! Bear up!
