Got my root canal today

I’m glad it’s over. I’m in a lot of pain but I was before too. The endodontist said it was a really difficult case. I hope the pain meds help.

Sounds good. I went to a dentist too in this week. They removed one filling and put another to replace the removed filling. It is important to take care of our teeth. I have lost two teeth because fillings in these teeth fell off and I did not have new fillings soon enough when I lived in my auto in Miami. I did go to one Cuban dentist in Little Havana, Miami but all fillings that were done had to be redone in Finland when I came back. I wish I had taken better care of my teeth in my teens.

How is your swelling doing? Is it coming down as well?

Thanks @Jake 1515

It hurts more after the root canal than it did before. No, the swelling has not gone down yet, not at all :frowning:

But @Bowens, the dr is going to call me tomorrow so I’ll ask her about the swelling and pain then.

Feel better soon @LilyoftheValley

I had a dentist appointment yesterday and I have my first cavity.

I have to go back on Monday to fix it. I don’t know what to expect or what it will cost.

Nope, my teeth have been really good up till now. I never needed braces, my wisdom teeth came in properly, I’ve never had a cavity. I’m was kinda devastated when the dentist said I have a cavity because it means things are only going to go downhill from here.

I also have good eyesight, never needed glasses. I guess that will be the next thing to go. Getting older sucks, lol

In my area, a cavity filling is usually around $200 for the whole deal. Xrays are extra

I’m in Canada, if my dentist is similar to that I can afford that, but it sucks I have to shell out that money.

I’m 43
