This  last session was a breeze since I couldn’t feel any pain even as my dentist poked at my cavity with several diagnostic needles. I still found the rubber dam quite uncomfortable since it exerted pressure on my gums. I would post a picture of me with a rubber dam but I look awkward with a piece of rubber stretched across my mouth and a metal brace holding it up.

Here’s a picture of me while on the X-ray machine.

After checking my root canals to see if they weren’t filled with blood and after several X-rays to see if all the pulp were removed, my dentist declared it safe to close the cavity and put filling in it. She created the mixture and put it inside my root canals by using paper points.

Finally, my root canal therapy was over. I treated her to lunch as a way of showing my gratitude of saving

me from excruciating tooth pain.  After reading what I went through, I hope I impressed upon the reader the importance of taking care of your teeth and not taking them for granted.
