I went to the dentist this morning to get my final round of root canal-related tooth fun and heard the words that you never want to hear from your plummer, mechanic or dentist: “You don’t have some place you need to be any time soon, do ya?”
Turned out to be no big deal. They ground down the remaining tooth and filled the gap with a ghostly, semi-translucent filling. I’m hoping that the “phantom tooth” effect doesn’t last.
All in all, the whole root canal thing was not a ton of fun but nowhere near as bad as I’d heard it could be.
I’m not saying to go out and get one, mind you, but if one’s in your future, don’t fret too much.
