Anybody here ever had a root canal. I'm scheduled to have one next
week and I've been wondering if this rather primitive sounding
technique of gutting the insides of a tooth and filling the now dead
tooth with plastic is the best modern dentistry has come up with. Is
there any other treatment for a small abscess at one of the roots of
a tooth other than killing the tooth? The tooth doesn't even hurt. It
just feels funny when I chew on it. If I chew gum it feels a little
like it's gonna pull out but it's tight in the jaw and there's not
swelling or discoloration or any other external sign of a problem
They only caught it on an x-ray. But my dentist says get her done! He
says it will never get better on its own and might end up causing
problems for nearby teeth not to mention degrade my general health
and stamina because it represents a low-grade infection my body has
to fight constantly. Any thoughts or experiences?

Maybe the dentist will drill far enough through your tooth to reach
your brain, Wilbur. In that event, there may be some possibility that
you might be cured after all. In that case, you might even begin to
acknowledge all the attributes and advantages of owning a Mac. In any
event, it's something for you to think about as you lie there in the
chair as the dentist continues to drill into your head.

Just a suggestion.

Sorry JimC but the molar is on the mandible. The worst an inept dentist
could do is drill out the bottom side of my jaw. And if the drill bit
then hit my massive, iron hard pecs it would break into itty bitty bits.

Your Mac26M looks like an old Nash Rambler. Ever notice that?
