all i want for christmas is tooth #30...

i'm getting surgery on monday. this is an actual picture of my failed root canal. you can kind of see on the right side of the highlighted tooth a dark line running down the root. that's where it got all jacked up. apparently the specialist thinks that there are fragments of a root canal instrument that broke off in the root & caused the failure/infection. bummer.


looks like i'm gonna have a swollen face for christmas.


even though it's somewhat sucky... the bright side is, they don't have to pull my tooth! in 3 months when the surgery is healed, i'll get a crown and be done with all this madness!


thanks for the prayers y'all!

That sounds nice momma! I'll definitely have to swing by after. Manda is going to pick me up from work & take me to the surgery, but I'd love the company afterwards :)
