root canal

My dillemma started 3 years ago when I had my teeth treated by the orthodontist. I knew for a fact that my upper right side molar needed to be fixed when the doctor has to put a filling several times. Last year when I had my braces removed, I was advised to have it root canaled. From time to time, I feel the pain but with proper diet and hygiene the pain usually is bearable. MIraculously, it doesn't give me headaches or would make me uncomfortable.

Last month, I had this very eerie feeling of the pain, I also have issues with the gum tissues as it is constantly bleeding when I touch my teeth. Not to mention that my self confidence isn't boosted when I wake up due to bad breath(who doesn't anyway). I felt that I have to do a thorough research on this matter and make sure that I would make the right choice specially so that I had undergone several treatment as far as my teeth are concerned. Having 2 crowns in front isn't fun specially that it feels so fake.

Moving forward, I am looking at the pros and cons of spending so much money on saving my tooth and later on deal with the side effects (ouch, darn the pain that I feel as I type). I need not to waste anytime. I have to make the decisions fast so I can be assured of that I wouldn't regret it later on.

I challenge myself until thursday, to watch my diet until Thursday and eat as much as possible raw and un-processed food. I just hope the pain doesn't kill me by then.
