Dentist...

[just1_kiss]

Since J's mom is my dentist you wouldn't think I would freak out.  But I HATE going to the dentist.  I had a root canal a few weeks ago and need to get a permanent filing and fit for a crown:(  YUCK!  I am worried because the tooth in front of the root canal tooth has been hurting.  We took x-ray's and nothing wrong I think just a little

LMA) - my dad is an endodontist, and chances are, your dentist is using the technique my dad developed in endo school for his grad research :)

Of course, I was born with a horrid mouth (lower jaw stuck out too much, and tipped to one side). I had years of space maintainers, retainers, braces, headgear, bite plates, major facial surgery with my jaws wired shut, and they even used me as part of a Cdn dental study on laser use for my type of dental surgery. I got over anxiety about dentists long ago just from seeing them every week a few times for years :)

And of course, it's my bloody TMMD that messes my life to no end.

Btw - MUCH better to get your dentist to do the bleaching - those white strips are BAD and dental studies are starting to come out in the field of perio suggesting they cause damage to gum lines. I do bleaching as well, though I drink too much coffee :)

So it looks like my endodontist bruised the tooth infront of the root canal tooth. It sucks BIG time. We are just hoping the nerve doesnt die because I really don't want another root canal!
Yeah I don't like using the white strips. I use them on the top every other day or so just to try to keep a little lighter. I quit smoking and I don't drink coffee, but I feel like my teeth are so yellow! Looks like next friday or so I am getting them bleached!
