Goodbye my adult tooth

It was a few months back when I went to see a dentist because of a sore gum. I was surprise to learn that I have a tooth that need to be filled up and another one which need a root canal and crowning.
The filling of the tooth was consider an easy one even through it was incredibly sensitive for me. The root canal was a failure as the tooth crack so additional treatment had been done. The dentist told me that it may be a failure and told me to accept the other method which is to do a tooth implant.
Essentially it was to remove the tooth, insert some no rust metal into the gum before inserting the tooth. I took the option and went to the dentist yesterday. First extraction in three decade. Even with the numbing gums, it was still a painful process.
So that explain why I was out of action for nearly two days. I was drooling blood and had a short come and go fever. Everything is good now so I am patiently waiting to install my metal filling in another 3 months time. Right now, I have to make best on what I can.

I am sorry you had to go to the dentist for all ofthat. The worst I've dealt with is a tooth filling.

@id_peace Oh I do. I've had tooth pain and an infected tooth before, but didn't go to the dentist.I kept it clean and took care of it myself, but oh how painful it was!

In my case, I already lost a couple. Both are molars. It's a nasty experience, but the agony lasts only a few days after extraction.

@id_peace no actually. I just got used to the missing tooth, though I may consider it in the future.

I had tooth implants done in 1972--had to have them extracted last year--hopefully they make them last longer now! They were great until they (I) got old.

Dental work can be quite costly but necessary. Glad to hear you are doing better.

That is a tough one you have been through. You are brave. Just reading your post made me cringe.

Yes no more swollen, no pain, waiting for another few months down the road the fix up my metal screw. I hope that it is not painful.
