Great Flying Tooth Bits
Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007The roots of Molar #14 have been canaled and packed with rubber.
I thought today’s work would finish the saga of Molar# 14, but I was wrong. I will have to go to my regular dentist so that he can put a permanent filling in the tooth.
You wouldn’t believe the different smells that are associated with a root canal. There’s the burnt smell of the drilled tooth. Then the smell of the exposed root (lovely). Surprisingly enough the rubber packing smells like cloves when its melted into place. (One of the dental hygienists could have been smoking a clove cigarette I suppose.)
I was most disappointed that no heroic measures, like the endodontist bracing his foot against my shoulder, were taken. Alas and alack.
