so I'm off to the dentist for a 3:15 apt.
why ?
So he can (new dentist) rebore the hole into the root-canalled-tooth and refill it...
Apparently there is some "matter" left down there.
Of course, the real issue is whether or not the tooth will shatter.
The goal, if it doesn't shatter, is to put a cap over it... to hold it together...
This will require... (gasp) cutting away some of the bone to make space...
If not... then it's time to worry about putting in an "implant"
Which means I'd need to have the "base" of my sinus cavity raised up to make room for 'new bone' to grow and be used for the implant anchor.
Dude... next time a dentist tells you the "old amalgam has to come out... so we can put in some nice white stuff"....
grab one of his dentist implements of destruction... and ram it up his nose.
I know they freeze me...
I know it doesn't actually hurt (beyond having the nail on the end of the syringe rammed into the roof of your mouth)... until later...
but a) that later part... sucks cocks in hell... and b) it may not hurt but neither does barfing in a full face motorcycle helmet... doesn't make it fun man.
ug.
see ya. :(
