I also changed my mind, decided on simply having the tooth removed tomorrow morning, which will cost me a little more than $120 instead of thethousands of dollars for the other set of procedures (root canal and crown). It turns out that I can get it pulled, let it heal and then get an implant, which is a better solution long term. Or a bridge.
But I am impressed with how well MIR is handling this situation. Of course since there is a hole in the tooth, there will always be some infection until the tooth is removed. But the sickly sensation of infection is gone, the pain is gradually reducing and the feeling of the infection spreading into my jawbone is also gone. Color me impressed. And MIRv4 will be even better!
Tomorrow morning at 9 am, they'll shoot me full of Novocain and then rip that sucker out. Then I get the joy of holding a cotton swab on the spot for a few days while I wait for it to stop bleeding. I'll still be drinking my means for a week, but I won't be waiting a week for them to do something about it.
That is even better!
I do not like desensitizers cause everything is swolen for a few days when I get the shot....but when there is no other permanent solution I do the same.
Good luck Shannon!
