The Charles dental update

Many of you know how bad Charles was out of commission this past weekend due to his tooth problem. He went to a dentist on Friday and they told him he would have to see an endodontist on Monday. Ugh. So he had to wait all that time in immense pain. He contemplated going to the ER even. It shoots up the whole side of his face. :( So get this. He goes to the doc office on Monday and it was such an absolute crap experience!!! First off, they hit him in the side of the face like 3 times with the xray machine- you know, the side that hurts. Then in comes the dental specialist guy- who by the way was wearing no gloves and no mask and was a spitter. Charles said he actually had to wipe the docs spiddle off of himself. Are you kidding me?!?!?!? So this consult costs like $80. The doc said he thought it was an infection but by this point Chaz was so done with the guy and left and made an appt for 2pm with someone else. Another $80 consult but at least not w/ a spitter. That doc thought maybe it was a cracked root or something. He is to continue antibiotics for a week to see what that does (he got good pain meds as well). But the 1st doc - we will refer to as Dr. Spitter, said they would have to redo the root canal that he had done in 2004. This 2nd doc, who we will call Dr. Way Cooler, said if there is a crack, it would make redoing the root canal pointless b/c you'd pay the $880 and then have to pay whatever it costs to remove the tooth and replace it. So his next appt is Monday.
