Dental Treatment

Yesterday, I visited my root canal specialist for my teeth. He said that he can't do the whole course of treatment as it requires X-ray. He don't want to be responsible for anything and thus advised me to finish off the treatment next year, during my 2nd/3rd month of maternity leave. He also poured cold water to me by saying that my implant and crowning specialist will not finish off the implantation process in December (which supposed to be the case).. It has to be after my birth.

So sad. I had my tooth injury on the 09 Oct 2005, and I finished my whole treatment process in May 2007. That is a freaking long period. But what to do, X-rays are potentially harmful to my baby.

For people who are lost and is concerned with my tooth treatment, it goes like that:
1) 3 of my front teeth are dead or rather 2 are dead and 1 dying..and need to do root canal :P... Status: I have completed root canal for the 2 dead teeth and now the doctor don't want to finish the root canal for the dying tooth till next year.

2) My 2 front teeth are longer than usual due to the trauma. As such, they have to cut it smaller and put a permanent crown on it, to make it the same length as the rest.... Status: They have put a temporary crown first, as it supposed to be joined with the crown for my missing tooth (see below)

3) I lost one of my front tooth.. technically bo gay. For my wedding, they put on a temporary crown that sticks to the adjourning teeth cap and now, I look as though i have my full set of teeth.... Status: I have just started my implant process and finished off the first stage of implant. The 2nd stage of implant supposed to be in December but i think it will be April 2007.

4) After the whole implant process is done, I will then create and put on a permanent cap for my 2 front teeth and the implant tooth.

that will be like April / May 2007... on an optimistic side.. sigh...
