ahhh! this is killing me!
had a toothache since friday. actually i 1st experienced such toothache many yrs ago (thanks to my blog, it was april 2010!). that time a root canal was already recommended but i kind of f**k care it, since the pain went off after taking some painkillers. since then, on off, the pain will come back, but it will quickly goes off like within a day. except this time.... in pain since friday and the gum like got one bump forming and is painful when pressured upon.
and so... i went to c a dentist. and same thing, a root canal was recommended, else extraction. went for a 2nd opinion at a different clinic and the doc said the same thing too.
haiiii...
and so, did the root canal at $550. crown is likely not needed but to be confirmed upon the followed-up. yes, hopefully no crown needed, else it'll be another $1K. WTF. but surprisingly, there was no additional charge for the consultation and the x-ray done. haha.
and worse thing is.. after the root canal, im in more pain than before! well, the dentist did tell me that there may be some pain after the anesthesia goes off, but... i wasnt expecting this pain which is even more painful than before!
i really wasnt expecting this and from what i found online, it seemed that there should only be mild pain after a root canal done. shucks.
and..... there will be failed cases of root canal. success rate is 80-90%.... will i be that suay 10%????
grrrr. im soo god damned worried now lah. why am i experiencing such pain. informed the dentist and he told me to monitor and to go visit him again tmr if the pain persists.
omg!
one young doctor.. dont know can trust or not... grrrr. prior to that he already gave me some 'not-very-zai' feeling.. why did i still went ahead huh?! omg.
anyway, that's the x-ray done..
from the post in 2010, a root canal costed $350. now $550. woohoo!
anyway, pray for me pls... pain pain go away... dont ever come back again... =(
