wiseheart… to all your supportive comments from yesterday. Because I am still on iPad only and can’t type properly on the stupid touch screen.
So, root canal treatment started today… and stopped after forty minutes because the dentist couldn’t find the actual canal(s). Not even on the X-ray image. It might be completely calcified, in which case the treatment can’t be continued and the tooth will have to be pulled, leaving nothing in my right upper side beyond the canine.
To find out if there’s anything left from the canal, I was sent to have a CT. When the dentist has the results, we’ll discuss my options, as I still refuse getting implants. It promises to be… interesting, in the old Chinese curse sense of the word. And expensive, no matter what. All these examinations and the treatment so far have already cost me the equivalent of a day trip to Vienna, including the potential DVDs I might buy there. 🫨
