I unfortunately have had a hell of a time with a few teeth lately. Like annoying, and a little worrisome too.
Early February, I lost a HUGE filling in a big molar... it was so weird, and gross too! They got me in right away - and unfortunately, I had to get a crown on that tooth. It was a super old filling - a large one, and it was just best to get the crown. It went well - pretty uncomfortable for about a week.
About mid March, I then lost a little chip out of a tooth - it was a chip that was connected to a filling, but they were able to just fix that quickly and 'fill' it. Pretty smooth. But honestly, was pretty worried... I have some very old fillings, and I guess just as time goes, it's possible that these fillings will go bad. Just sucked.
Then about 2 weeks later - I started to have some severe pain in another molar. Hurt to touch, and I just knew something was wrong. Back I went... and it was confirmed I needed a root canal!
This morning I had that procedure done... I was so nervous and just so worried. The procedure went really well actually - smooth, and not nearly has daunting as the crown. I was numbed good (my left eye was even numb!!!)... so that was good, but now the numbness is going away, and I'm a little sore. I hope by tomorrow things calm down, and I'm good.
It's been a frustrating couple of months and I do worry. I hope we are all done with teeth stuff!!
