It Isn't Over Yet.

So it turns out my endodontist doesn't pull teeth. He saves them. A veritable Dental Jesus. After one and a half hours of drilling, inspection, and fiddling around, he declared there is only a 40% chance of saving the tooth. I said, "PULL IT. PULL IT NOW." No such luck.

He sent me back to my regular dentist with instructions to have it pulled. My regular dentist took a good long look at the x-rays and basically said, 'I ain't touchin' that,' and gave me a referral to an oral surgeon.

The oral surgeon cannot get me in until the middle of April.
