So they took an x ray of the problem tooth and then the doctor came in after a bit. He said it looks like one of my teeth has inflamed nerves and that was the cause of the pain and said it was good I came in LOL he referred me to a specialist for root canal therapy although idk why they can’t do the root canal there???? I’ve had other root canals done there before… but I think this specialist does microscopic root canals which are different I guess. Idk. Anyways, this specialist is like 30 mins away from my house… then again my regular dentist (the one I saw today) is 15-20 mins away. So not THAT much further LOL but still… and I hope to GOD they take my insurance or else I’m freaking screwed… I’m assuming they do since he asked me what insurance I have before going and writing it but still… they might just have a partnership with this place… the referral slip has this place’s name and info etc. on it sooooo… idk. LOL he also said to call today but after he left the receptionist was like “that might be kind of hard to call today because they close at 12 today so they’re only open a few more minutes (it was 11:57) and they’re closed tomorrow. They’re only open a few days.” I Googled it and they are open Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, but Thursday is only 8-12. The other days are normal hours LOL 9-6. Sooooooo… I guess I will wait till Tuesday to call now LOL but if they don’t take my insurance, I’m SCREWED because I’m not going to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket or even hundreds so I will just have to live with the pain. It’s already getting somewhat better but still. This sucks.

Many general dentists do not do molar root canals. If they don’t take your insurance, you can request a referral to a different provider. They probably do take it if the office asked about insurance before referring you.

The pain is constant now. I preferred the acute. LOL even though it hurt like hell. It at least went away after a few minutes. This is dull and not as sharp or high levels of pain but it’s constant all day long which is worse. I feel like it actually hurts MORE now than it did with the acute pain just because of the length of time it’s been hurting. Also I think I bit my tongue or something too so that sucks and also hurts too.
