Got the word yesterday on the chipped tooth situation. The remedy, the fix and the cure, comes out to be just two words: ROOT CANALA picture's worth 10,000 words in this case, so pictured above is what's likely to give your dentist the idea that a ROOT CANAL might be in order.
I made the silly mistake of asking the dentist what the term ROOT CANAL actually meant. Here's a hint: any time a dentist, physician or gastroenterologist unscrews the top of a sedative dispenser and asks "How many would you like?" before answering well, it's not hard to guess the reason why.
If you don't spent too much time visualizing what that length of stainless steel drilling rod is doing whirling around at the bottom of your tooth's pulp tissue then this self-explanatory image of what a ROOT CANAL involves actually ain't so bad (reach for sedatives now).
But, as with so many things in life, the Big Pay-off comes at the very end. What makes having a ROOT CANAL exciting in the long run is that you've got so many options available when it comes to choosing your mouth's new appearance.
Unless I get an e-mailbag full of responses to the contrary, here's a rough approximation of what my new smile will probably look like.
Oh yeah, there is one other bit of good news. So far as I can tell there's no actual law requiring that a dentist perform your next ROOT CANAL ... I called around yesterday and found out that my favorite vet can do the same job for much, much less money.
And he'll throw in a free flea dip and grooming, just in time for swimsuit season.
