This past Friday I visited my favorite man in the whole world - my dentist. I actually do love my dentist; or I thought I did until Friday! I had gone to him a few weeks ago with a little pain in a tooth and the feeling I had lost a filling. Nope, hadn't lost it but it had fractured and it had been fractured for at least 8-9 months and so there was decay under the remaining filling.
So, on Friday out came the drill and the work began. Apparently, it was worse than he thought and there was a cavity as well so he had to do more work than we had planned and a new filling is not going to do the trick - I have to have a crown. He is also now concerned about root/nerve damage because apparently putting in a crown can cause enough disturbance to the tooth that it can harm the root/nerve.
So, I have been being very careful all weekend to not put any additional pressue on my molar and therefore have been eating soup soup and more soup! I am sick of soup!
Any suggestions on food options? I really don't like creamy or mushy foods (think applesauce, jello, pudding, tofu, eggplant) so this is a real challenge. Any ideas would be helpful!
