I suspect it may well be a product of getting old but another visit to the dentist has meant more root canal surgery plus a big dent in the bank balance! Not sure which is more painful – ha ha. For those of you who have not under gone the procedure – I hope you never have to – it involved a number of visits whilst the dentist has rummage around an fixes the problems with your nerve and saves the tooth. Of course a cheaper option would be to have your tooth ‘extracted’ but I’ve already got two teeth missing so I think it is better to keep hold of the rest.
The only plus from this is that my dentist is wonderful and friendly which does help. Just wish my teeth would let me see a lot less of her!

Good call on the root canal, extractions can definitely cause a host of other issues with the space missing the teeth can shift and cause many other issues.
Well this is my third root canal so I know what to expect! Actually it is not that bad if a little long winded – certainly sorts the problems out
