Another started hurting twelve years after the root was pulled. They think the dentist left a fragment of root behind but I don’t remember the full story. Another tooth recently split and crumbled and I’m having surgery to repair it and other work. I’d never broken a tooth before this but four broke in a month. The front tooth I hide well!

My teeth were fine but medication possibly weakened them. I’m frightened to have them done since a dentist caused me to nearly die and end up in a wheelchair.

Oh, Novocain can’t be used so I need Marcain which has no epinephrine I think it is. It lasts twenty minutes and then the pain returns. Fun fun fun.
