I opted for an extraction on another tooth rather than a root canal due to the short-lived root canal I mentioned above leaving a bad taste in my mouth.
So I will get an implant for that one too eventually (I could also have one of those permanent bridges put in for that missing tooth, but if the tooth the bridge is attached to becomes unstable I would just end up with a gap there anyhow).
Eventually they'll just be able to inject stem cells into a gap and a new tooth will grow there (not in our lifetimes probably), just like when our baby teeth fell out and our permanent teeth grew in (some of which I destroyed with Coca-Cola as I just mentioned).
Cheers, TP.
I never made it to the door.
I called to tell the receptionist that I would be 5 minutes late to my appointment.
She got snotty with me.
I got 10 times more snotty with her.
The phone call ended with me yelling obscenities in a bit of a rage and hanging up on her.
Time to locate another dentist and make a new patient appointment.
Nothing New.
Nothing to see.
Move Along.
