Dental Work Recap

Here’s a recap of the dental work I’ve had in the last couple weeks.

As I mentioned: if I had it to do over again, I would have babied my mouth a little bit more to ensure the blood clots stayed and I didn’t get dry sockets.

But the pain is mostly gone.  I’m down to just a few ibuprofen per day (down from 12 or more) and ultimately it’s all down to my last molar.  I just need to make sure it doesn’t get any worse and I need a root canal.  And since the tooth is already shaved down and capped with a crown, I’m not so sure there’s much I can do to avoid the root canal.  It’s either going to flare up and need to be drilled or it’s fine with just the crown.

And I’m definitely hoping it’s just the crown…
