At this point it's become the ongoing saga of the teeth.
Went to the oral surgeon today. He found another abscess bringing the total to four. One was taken care of a couple weeks ago by pulling th tooth and zapping the infection with a lasar.
He gave me the option of stretching out the three root canals he needed to do or go for one marathon session today. I opted for the marathon. I want this over with. I was in the chair so long the anethesia started to wear off. At least the root canals are done now. I go back for a recheck in a week and a half. He told me I could go ahead and have my primary dentist start putting in permanent filings. Given my tendency to have things go wrong I'm going to wait until after the recheck. I don't wanna pay for filings and have to have them drilled out again.
Like I said, I never do anything simply. One of the teeth he worked on today had a root canal many, many years ago. When he x-rayed it today it showed that my body had started to resorb the root. He told me that if it abscesses again it will require surgery. Oh joy!
The anathesia is starting to wear off. I'm thinking tonight is not going to be fun. I have some pain med left from having the tooth pulled. I may take one pretty soon.
