Kevin's take on life

By KevinV

To the root of the problem

So my tooth pain got worse today but finally got in to see the dentist. What it looks has happened is is require a root canal. From what I can figure last year during my dental surgery for what I was told was a the small cavity turned bad right from the time I sat in the chair. It took 4-6 needles to have my mouth frozen. Then the drilling started on the first drilling i felt a sharp pain that went right down to my foot. at this point I believe the dentist hit the nerve of the tooth. from there nothing was right it was always sensitive I could feel storms coming in with  the tooth aching and never being able to bite down on the tooth. So today I was told that the tooth's nerve was starting to die and and that it was starting to get infected. So currently I am taking antibiotics for the next week and in about 3 weeks the root canal first part will happen hopefully after that is done I will be able to use that side of the mouth again. So currently the pain is not as bad hopefully will feel a bit better once the swelling is down.

After my appointment I got out for a short walk and grabbed this shot of Mrs. Cardinal sitting in the tree , I threw her a peanut but Mr cardinal swooped out to get it, too fast for a picture.
