All I can say was that the root canal therapy is the most painful dental treatment I ever had. Apparently, since my tooth suffered trama, it's difficult to numb/freeze the nerve around the tooth (due to inflammation from the trauma). During parts of the surgery, some parts of the pulp/nerve wasn't numb so I felt pain as the dentist removed it. Oh well... no pain, no gain!
After removing the pulp, everything went smoothly. My tooth was no longer sensitive to hot/cold!
Today, I went back in to get my filling. It wasn't as bad as yesterday, that's for sure!
Here's a picture of the finished result. I'm going to go back in a couple of months to get a crown. Hopefully, the crown will offer a more permanent solution than the filling =P
It's slightly uneven, but it's temporary! =P
