“Angel after dentist”

Today I had the first Endodontist (specialize in root canals) appointment since 2005! I couldn’t believe it had been that long! I needed 3 root canals. I got one done, got half of the other done, and had one left. I still need a crown for the half done one but its just too darn expensive and I cant afford it. So I was having pain in the one that was left untreated and it was pretty bad. Hurt so bad it kept me up at night.

When I got there, they took and xray and then I waited for the doc. He walked in, looked at the xray, and said “uh oh, youre in trouble”. Not exactly what you want to hear your doc say!

Long story short, I have a severe infection under my gumline and to the root of my molar. I have to have surgery to remove the molar and clean the infection out. It sucks. What doesnt suck is that I am on some pretty freaking strong meds! Penicillin and Vicodin! Woohoo! Nah, all joking aside. I have a consult on April 13th and they’ll tell me then when the surgery is. Dont like this one bit!
