Well, the tooth saga continues. I had the evaluation done today by the DMD and her prognosis is that I need a root canal and cap. If she finds that the tooth is too compromised when she opens it up, I go back to the oral surgeon for extraction. She sounds confident it will be able to be fixed though.
Bad news is that it’s 2 weeks until it can be done. I called multiple other practices to see if there was anything sooner anywhere (5 different offices with 27 DMDs total) and this is the soonest anyone can do it.
Looks like I just have to plow through the pain and hope the infection doesn’t come back.
