And they wonder why I have not been to see them in so long.

When I needed my root canal earlier this year, it was because an existing filling had a small crack that my dentist didn't notice. Within that crack an cavity had formed and is what started the pain. Chewing, drinking, hot, cold, sweet, sour...everything was painful and far exceeded what ibuprofen and acetaminophen could ease.

Mine was the same as Kellee's but, it felt better when I bit down.
