Remember that root canal I had done ages ago. Well, I never finished it. I’ve been walking around with a tooth full of cement. Last week the actual tooth around the cement broke. Three times.
Today I spent a few hours in the chair getting the temporary crown out on. In two weeks I go back for the permanent.
My jaw hurts, my gums hurt, and the surrounding teeth hurt.
The good news for today was that they were still able to make a crown for the tooth instead of pulling it like I feared.
Plus, I ran into a friend at WalMart. It reminded me that I do have other people to talk to, even if they aren’t my age.

ouch, sorry about the tooth but glad they can still work with it! M just got an estimate for his rotting tooth and I think it’s just going to have to rot. Hope the pain goes away soon. And other people to talk too … I feel for you on that one. So many people but it’s hard to get it started sometimes.

I’ve been walking around with teeth like that for a decade. Seriously, been saving up so I can afford to use the dental insurance.
