My beautiful Saturday morning was spent first at my dentist's office, who confirmed my growing suspicion that the pain I was experiencing wasn't bite problems at all... I needed another root canal, this time on my lower left rear molar.

So then I went to the next-door dentist place, who specializes in root canals. And a thousand dollars later (because my dentist insurance is maxed), I have had my second root canal in 5 months.

BUT THE PAIN IS GONE!

Now I'm waiting for the five (yes, FIVE) numbing shots to wear off. My poor tooth... the three separate nerves in there were so inflamed, he had to numb each one. Outside of the 2 shots he gave me for general numbing. Nice.
