Good news is there are several outstanding endodontists in redding. Bad news is he probably wont put a crown on tommorrow, he'll do a pulp cap ( a little white filling over the top) or give you a very basic pre-made temporary crown until your dentist can make your permanent one. You can ask either of them for darvocet (which is made from totally different products) instead of vicodin for pain, since vicodin makes you sick. Hope all goes well for you

Correct, the tip of the nerve was bent. He could get to one other one that was bent but not the other. Right now there is white cap, and how do you know so much might I ask? I have been usuing just Tylenol and Advil combined and that has been working good enough so far. As far as the pain, it fees A LOT better now that he got most of the infection out. My jaw and teeth are still sore but there was a great since of relief after soem pressure was taken off. Thanks for the advice.
