Hi my dear family. How blessed we are to have another year to live in our faith in pursuit of the promises Our Lord gave us.
I need prayer. One of my crowned teeth has developed a cavity. It is part of a bridge to another crowned tooth. Unfortunately, after we discovered it, a few days later, I started feeling pain in that area which is indicative of an infection no doubt. I am now on amoxicillin.
In the interim I have pulled out my back again and I have no idea what I did, but I am now limited in what I can do. I am currently unable to get In or out of a car, or sit for very long but thankfully each morning I have felt a little better. This started New year's eve day.
I have not given myself one of my toradol injections because I just didn't really want to. I have some pain medication, so I have been taking it , which is rare, so you know that I am hurting if I am.
Hopefully my back will heal up quickly, so I can go ahead and arrange for my teeth to be taken care of. I am considering just having the tooth that has the cavity removed as well as the bridge, and leaving the good crowned tooth alone. The other option is to re-create the entire bridge by recrowning both teeth, and building the bridge IF the cavity isn't bad. The difference in cost between those two options is BIG, even with part of it covered by my insurance.
I pray this will all resolve quickly and as painlessly as possible.
Thanks!
PS I do NOT like getting dental work done other than cleanings. It makes me every anxious.
