In October I had to get a root canal. I also made an appointment for a general check up at the dentist's. That was postponed to two weeks ago because of my mother's operation. He found a couple of cavities and, since Dutch dentists don't like to use anesthetics on more than one quarter (top, bottom, left, right) in one sitting I got two appointments. One for next week and one for a week later.
Yesterday I suddenly got a toothache. I decided to wait and see if it got worse, planning to give it a few days. But I didn't get any sleep last night. So right now I'm waiting for the dentist's office to open at 8am, in five minutes, to make an appointment. Usually when you call before 9am you can get an appointment the same day. I'm all set and ready to go, last time I got an appointment in half an hour of calling.
Right now the pain is gone, but it comes and goes. I'm assuming the worse; that I need another root canal. Even if it isn't necessary it won't be fun. The cavity is below the gums on the back of a back molar.
And that on my mother's birthday.
