I thought the tooth pain was connected to the temporary crown falling off. and some of it might have been. but! it persisted and then kept getting worse.
so this morning I went to the dentist again. Arrived at 8.02 am. Left at 8.18 am, minus one tooth.
Efficiency!
I'm still numbed up from the anesthetic, so I won't know for sure until it wears off. But here's hoping the pain will stay away this time.
