TEETH

If you are amongst the millions that have false teeth, count yourself as lucky...

I had the silver filling in one of my back molars (#30 to be exact) removed since there was some wear to it and it had a small hole in it. No big deal, or so I thought.
The silver was removed on 10/31. No candy for me for Halloween. :-(
I had pain the whole weekend. So I called and went back in. They desensitized it (whatever that means) and that did not work.
I called again on 11/9. He did an emergency root canal. Ok. That was more painful than I remember. I had another weekend of pain.
Then on 11/14 he finishes the root canal. Yes...finishes. Apparently on the 9th, he only did a portion of it so I wouldn't be in so much pain. Well...had I known that I would have almost 3 weeks of this crap, I would have endured the pain and left it be.
On the 14th, when he finished it, he said that my roots were not working 'with' him and that they were so skinny and really holding on. Great! He told me that I have three roots in that tooth and he only did one on the 9th and the other 2 on the 14th. I was at the dentist office for over 2 hours. It is now the 17th and I still have pain and I still can not chew on the right side.
Now I go back in on the 20th and they will be placing the permanent crown on that tooth. That was the whole goal, just replace the filling with a crown.

I HATE GOING TO THE DENTIST. The worst part of this story....I loved going to the dentist in PA. I looked forward to the cleanings and I haven't had work done on any teeth for about 7 or 8 years. Then I come to Texas......
