Been at the dentist this morning. Booked in to have 2 small fillings on the top and 1 larger filling (to replace an old one at the bottom). I haven’t had much tooth ache but the bottom one is especially sensitive to hot / cold and needed to be looked at.
On further inspection I needed 2 fillings at the bottom, which the dentist descibed one as ” a massive cavity” Blimey! So, 3 injections later my whole mouth, chin, lips and nose is now numb…. It turns out that the old filling was hiding a big hole underneath and this mornings investigation ended up being a full on deep drill right to the nerve. At some point, could be 6 days, 6 months or 6 years it’s going to need a root canal. Brilliant.
Much flossing and brushing is needed for the future of my teeth, but for now I’m just a little bit dribbly and slury – for the next 4 to 6 hours.
