Arguing to save my tooth.

Going in for a root canal update.  They said something about if the hole under my tooth shrinks and heals, they could save the tooth.  If not, they'd have to remove it.

The infection never went away completely, though. I'm going to argue for more time and more antibiotics to give it time to heal.

Not that ever arguing with a dentist or a doctor does any good.

**********

UPDATE:  15 minutes in and out.  Apparently, the point is to let it heal, see if the bone can regenerate; and it may take up to 2 or 3 months.

Especially since there is no pain.

That's a relief.
