Dental follow up: Nothing to be done at this time except wait and see

Thanks, guys, for the positive vibes.

I saw my dentist this AM and she did the percussion test, also took x-rays. There's nothing dire right now. It's possible that the lower molar with the crown (that had a previous crack, hence the crown) will need root canal down the road, but the x-ray was inconclusive. It's also possible that the adjacent tooth (closer to the front), which has existing cracks, will need to be filled.

But both are a wait and see, and her recommendation is that I continue to take an anti-inflammatory every day, at the max dose, and give things some time to settle down.

She said I could always call and get her to prescribe antibiotics and anti-inflammatories if things don't improve. I'll see how it goes through this week and then do that if I need to next week, before she takes her Christmas vacation.

And in the meantime...no more melt-downs that involve gnashing of teeth. LOL.

Peace.
