Root Canal?

[tinhuviel]

My visit with the doctor got me a temporary filling until the 15th at which time it will be removed. I had two choices: root canal or extraction. Since I don't have $800 to throw toward a root canal, this tooth and I will be parting company in a few days. The patch up that Dr. Malone did has clove oil in it and now I'm flashing back to Rainbows & Moonbeams and how so many folks there smoked clove cigarettes. I got more than one dirty look when I told them what I was doing when the tooth broke. Apparently eating ice is one of the worst things a person can do. Whoopsie, my bad. The doc prescribed me more pain meds and sent me home until my appointment on the 15 or until I die, whichever comes first.
