I decided to forego the root canal and just had it pulled.

13. Drill A Hole Through It And Wear It On A String Around Your Neck... |

... as a good luck charm. (Or to remind yourself to floss daily.)

3. I'd have gone for the root canal. |
|
Once they're gone, they're gone. I know.

7. I Had One Root Canal About 15 Years Ago |
|
And about six months later, the entire tooth disintegrated. So I wound up losing it anyway.
I got my teeth from my mother's side of tha family - mostly Irish. I expect to lose them bit by bit ass I get older. My grandfather, for example, only had three teeth all the years I knew him.

10. Seriously, I hope you're not in too much pain |
|
I remember getting my wisdoms pulled (one was impacted) and trying to avoid dry socket. I failed. :(

I had 4 teeth pulled some years ago. There was enough bleeding that I went back. The Dentist had told me not to smoke and when I caught him leaving the office he was smoking. It was 7/4 and blood does not taste good. He said don't worry. He was right.

12. Do you have any extra pain medicine? |
|
I had a rough run-in with a dehumidifier this morning and the dehumidifier won.

15. He Didn't Give Me ANYTHING |
|
I'm just using ibuprophen.
Sorry to hear about the dehumidifier. Try Aspercreme or Flex-All. (I used to use Thera-Gesic, but stopped when they started advertising on Limbaugh's radio pukefest.)

17. There are no dehumidifier lifting warnings, I may sue. |
|
Despite spending all day at DU this was a very boring day. Sounds like you had the same sort of experience.

18. Don't know if its the Irish thing or not |
|
but I'm Irish too and keep having to have my teeth pulled - 9 so far. It got to the point where I would get a root canal - it would go bad and then have to have it pulled. Now I too forgo the root canal.
Are you going to get a bridge?

Once it heals, I'm going back to the dentist so he plan out what he's gonna do.
I also have a lower denture that's over 18 years old - it doesn't fit any more, so I have to get it replaced. Thanks to my Irish ancestry, I had most of my molars and wisdom teeth removed about 20 years ago.
