Quite moody today because of a toothache. Been to the dentist and he said I've an infected tooth and suggested a root canal treatment. From what he described, it seemed a painful process, not to mention expensive too. I need to go for 2 appointments for the root canal treatment. After that may have to do a dental post to secure the tooth. And then after that I need a dental crown to protect the weakened tooth. That's another 2 additional visits.

My gum was so painful that I almost arranged an appointment for the treatment. What stopped me was when the nurse at the counter said the successful rate was about 60%.

Whoa! Hang on... I'm not going to spend S$1.5K and be told the pain may return! Got to find out more before I make my decision.

Stupid toothache.
