Saw my dentist this morning. I’ll be back there at 2:30 to get #19 pulled. The dentist said it would be a waste of money trying to save it.
Follow-up: It’s done. A painful and difficult, but successful job. Remind me to take better care of my teeth when I’m younger.
Oh to be 40 again!
I used up a tube of 20% benzocaine and bought another one.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Pratt?
Glad it’s over. I know how severe dental pain can start to make head removal seem like a good solution. Seriously, I do recommend keeping a bottle of 20% benzocaine oral anesthetic, in medicine cabinet or first aid kit.
