#18's crown that fell off on Friday was re-cemented yesterday.
The re-do of the root canal on #30 was this morning. It is not *quite* done - for the work to happen, he had to drill through the gold crown, so there is a temporary filling there that my regular dentist will have to replace with a permanent filling, so I am waiting for the appointment schedule person to call back. I don't understand why being a root specialist means he couldn't have just done a permanent filling - he was able to do the temporary one.
My face is still numb (even though there is no nerve in the root, the surrounding structures were numbed), but once I can talk like my usual self I will make some calls to MA reps

I managed to take some pre-emptive ibuprofen without spilling milk down my chin (it took concentration), after spending the time in the chair trying to consciously relax my jaw so that I wouldn't have a recurrence of the jaw annoyance from 2023 (same endodontist office, different clinician, at my request).
