Toothache = ?

Well for any normal person, a toothache might just mean a tiny little cavity. But no not me, not the child with the most teeth problems of them all. When I go to the dentist, my teeth feel just fine and they tell me I have 9 cavities to fill! Yep thats me! I've got a mouth full of metal...at least they make it tooth colored now. But anyways, so back to the main point. For me a tootache is bad news, cuz I hardly ever feel anything that goes on in there. SO when I started having these really bad toothaches on my lower right side that were keeping me up all night, I'd say I was concerned. And rightly I should have been, cuz lo and behold come to find out from the dentist today, I have a nice little infection under one of my root canals that's gonna cost A GOOD $1000 TO FIX! Man I'm a winner...and I get to take pain pills and antibiotics that make me drowsy for the next two weeks. I hope it doesn't spoil Graduation. But at least I have a job now. So I get to look forward to my first three checks going straight to the Endodontist, whatever the heck that is...Yeah for the endoguy whose gonna fix my rotten root canal and take all my money!!!
