after an action packed morning at the ucla venice dental center (glorified homeless shelter meets super fancy ladies (not many) meets screaming kids meets dental residents meets their teachers), I left with little more info than when I entered three hours earlier. I told them my tooth pain is an 8 out of 10, but every test they did showed my teeth were pretty strong & in good shape. There was a cold test, a tapping test, a poke your gums test, an air test - you get the idea! my dentist (youngster doing his residency) was sweet & in my opinion, he's on the road to a fantastic dental career. ok, back to the pain. the x-ray was inconclusive. It's possible that I need a root canal on #14 & it's equally possible that I have a severe sinus infection. I've been prescribed antibiotics & if in seven days I'm not better then I'm root canal bound! wish me luck & to one day have insurance!!!! stay tuned.
