I went to the dentist today to get prepped for a crown on a lower molar. After shaving the tooth, he noticed that the crown would probably not hold for very long so he decided to "kill" my tooth by doing a root canal on it. Two and half hours later and a lot of freezing, I walked out of there with half a tooth with a temporary filling, pain from the clamps, the nerve removal and the unfreezing and the hope that the next time I go it won't hurt as much.
The dental assistant will call me tomorrow with my next appointment hopefully for this week because I can't chew on the right side of my mouth since I don't have a lower molar and it's the side I usually chew on. This new year is really not starting well for me. I know some people have it worst but the sports injuries and this "tooth killing" thing is not pleasant. I guess I'll come out of this with a shinny gold tooth though.
