(273 posts)33. Got one tooth pulled
Rotten wisdom tooth that really needed to go. They did a temporary fix of the tooth that's *really* been bothering me. The docs think there's a chance it can still be saved (yeay, root canal!); if not, it'll have to go, too. Luckily the wisdom tooth right behind it (I still have the other 3 left for now) is in reasonable shape -- if the molar has to be yanked they can use the wisdom tooth to help replace it.
All in all, my teeth aren't in quite as bad of a shape as I thought they'd be. There's a lot of work left to be done, though, so I'll be back at the dentist's office 3 or 4 more times before it's all said and done.
Right now I'm just hoping the current extraction doesn't turn into a dry socket! >.o
