Happy Friday (I guess), people. Damn it! I started having an issue with my top right canine Wed. It felt like i had bitten down too hard on something and it was sore. I woke up thurs. and it felt fine. I had coffee, breakfast, and went to the gym. I was thinking: cool, just a little set back and we are on our way. NOPE! It started pulsing slightly yesterday afternoon so I decided I better get into the dentist right away before the wknd. I have an appt at my dentist at lunch. I just hoping they can do a root canal to save the tooth. If not, it's $4000 for an implant. Just ...... and upset. I am totally .... about my teeth and still this.

Hope it's going better for y'all. Have a great Super Bowl wknd. I'll check back in to see how the old people are doing later this wknd. Be well.

Good morning Pepper. :)
I’m a little vain about my teeth too Pepper, hopefully your issue will be an easy fix.

Yes, U could call me .... about it. lol I was surprised that I got a cavity like this based on how I eat and take care of my teeth.
Update: I got to the dental office--i've been going here for 20 years. The short. The tech/hygienist took x-rays of the area around my right top k9.
It took 45 minutes before the Dr. came in. It's cool there because it's all digital and the screen with the xrays as they happen is less than 2 feet from your face. I'm looking at these x-rays (having no idea what I am looking at other than teeth and roots) and the tooth that hurts looks exactly like all of the others.
The doc came in and said the same thing--no decay. She said I may have bit down/shifted my teeth on something and irritated the nerve. Said to stay off of it and wait a week. Here's hoping.

Anyways. Enough about me.:lol: Hope every has a great weekend. We will. Be well.

Modern medicine, lots of "due diligence"...generally a good thing...with a price. "It hurts? Huh. Looks good, x-rays are fine. Don't bite on it for a while. That'll be $250.00"
Or the more familiar Patient: "Doctor! Doctor! It hurts when I go like that!" Doctor: "Don't go like that."

Good luck Pepper.

Good morning snails
