I lost 30 lbs thanks to my dental troubles last year. Well, 15, and then with the head start I figured what the hell might as well diet.
I now have to take Gabapentin basically for life. I tried going off it about a month ago when my prescription ran out thinking I was OK. Nope. 3 days off it and my face was lit up. And it takes time for it to work, so I had 2 weeks of hell again after resuming it before I started feeling normal.
I have some weird anatomy quirk where the major nerve canal that runs under your bottom back teeth is higher up than normal in me, so the roots of the back tooth that I was having trouble with last year actually extended into it. So root canal job was perfect, but probably damaged the nerve. Eventually just had to have the tooth pulled by an oral surgeon.
The root canal itself was no big deal, just a long time in the chair. Also pricey, getting a tooth extracted by a surgeon was half the price of an Endo root canal.
