So here are some updates on the tooth visit. So I went in there and she took some x-rays. Definatly a root canal, or as you already know two root canals. She starting working on the first one, and did four canals of one of my molars, but didnt have time to get to the other tooth, only one canal, because we were lucky to squeeze in there anyways. She finished the one that was painful though. The other was just in the process so it was caught before it will get to bad. She gave me some interesting information about why i needed the root canals. She told me that my teeth looked great from the outside, but because of my fillings i needed the root canal. One of two things happened, either bacteria slid in underneath my filling or it was closed up with bacteria still inside there, so slowly it just went away at eating my tooth. Nothing I really could have done except not get the cavity in the first place. I go back in a week from tommorow.
