Last Tuesday in Vegas, I was eating popcorn while playing video Keno. I bit down hard on an unpopped kernel of popcorn and chipped a filling on one tooth and cracked another one. Waited until I got home to go to the dentist. Last Friday I had temporary crowns put on both teeth.
Everything seemed fine until I ran out of Darvocet on Monday. Of course, Peter thought I was exaggerating so I suffered all night. Tuesday morning, I called the dentist and asked when the pain would stop or could they give me more Darvocet....... they told me to come in immediately - there shouldn't be pain after 3 days. Dentist sent me to Endontist for a root canal, which ended up (after an hour of drilling) putting the temporary crown back on. Tooth was cracked all the way through to the pulp and can't be saved.
Tomorrow morning, I will have the tooth pulled and an implant put in. Pray for me - you know I'm a wimp when it comes to pain and needles.
