Things I want to say to my patients #5

What I say: So the decay has reached the nerve of your tooth so there is 3 options at this points. 1- do nothing 2- Do a root canal treatment that will take about 4 appointments where we take the nerve and BLAH BLAH BLAH or 3- I can just take the tooth out today.

What I am thinking: The hole in your tooth is huge and gross and you already have about 10 teeth missing and you never show for your appointments so lets pull this sucker out and be done with it.

My dentist once told me that letting go is like pulling a tooth. When it was pulled out, you’re relieved, but how many times does your tongue run itself over the spot where the tooth once was? Probably a hundred times a day. Just because it wasn't hurting you doesn’t mean you didn't notice it. It leaves a gap and sometimes you see yourself missing it terribly. It’s going to take a while, but it takes time. Should you have kept the tooth? No, because it was causing you so much pain. Therefore, move on and let go.
