Had to take a trip to the Dentist the other day as my lower right pre molar was causing me much anguish. So i valiantly prepared for the drilling which in my present pain seemed the only likely conclusion.

To my great suprise, the dentist informed me that my tooth was in the very best health, so puzzled exceedingly i waited with baited breath, while the dentist showed me exactly how healthy on the x-ray. Then he showed me the amount of wearing on the tooth and informed me that my other molars were showing the same signs.

This all pointed to heavy grinding, which my friends is bad. Apparently the stress of uni has transferred to a nightly terror which causes an involuntary grinding reflex, which most disastrously is removing the enamel on my teeth. The Consequence is that sometimes the tooth develops tiny cracks and fractures that penetrate right down to the nerve. This means that the tooth is in danger of dying and can only be saved via a root canal...

so now i have to wait several days and if my tooth is still in pain then well, its root canal time for me. Fortunately my tooth is feeling alot better, i can almost eat food now
