Horrible Tooth Ache - No More Sugar!

I have a toothache so big that I can't even bother to eat. I tried to eat, but it was painful. I need some comfort food so I can feel "comforted" (sigh!). Anyway, this is the kind of pain that makes you want to wear your ugliest, most comfortable bed clothes instead of that really sexy lingerie. Let me tell you what happened and why I am in so much pain.

About six years ago I had to have a root canal done on one of my molars. Well, just the other day or maybe a few weeks ago, I was eating and the cap came off. When I looked in the mirror, I found that the molar right next to it had a big black hole. Yuck! How embarrassing. Well, I finally got up the nerve to go to the dentist so that they could tell me what the damage was and it was bad to the tune of almost $1,200 and that includes what my dental insurance covers. Thank God for insurance. I would have had to come up with thousands. Sheesh! I shoulda been a dentist.

Anyway, today that very bad black hole was inspected and another root canal was done. I'm not going to continue to tell you about the tooth where the cap fell off. It just hurts thinking about it. The bottom line is that I have to either stop eating so much sugary stuff or I'm going to lose all of my teeth and be in a lot of pain in the process.

I'm so depressed....Ho HummmmM!!!!
