So this has happened this summer

7 total visits to the dentist, 14 novocaine shots in the jaw, 4 root canals, 2 sets of temporary crowns and 1 final set of 4 individual permanent crowns has made up my summer.
I went to the dentist 2nd week of June and found out I had 4 abscesses under my very old root canaled teeth plus one of my non-root canaled teeth. There was no pain, there was no decay. Bacteria had just gotten under my teeth and spread to the tooth next to it. So a total of 4! I couldn't believe it. I had to get 4 root canals and there was talk of pulling teeth and doing implants or bridges. I have hardly any teeth left under those babies, but here's to hoping they'll last a long time. Life is so weird sometimes.
