Never had one before.

Relatively healthy dental history but a week or so ago started feeling pain in the left lower back area of the mouth.

My dentist got me in this morning, took some x-rays, did some hands on diagnostics, and determined the very back molar has dying nerve(s) inside.

So I have an appointment for March 5 for the root canal.

In the meantime I'm taking amoxicillin for a week, which should address the infection and thus the pain.

He said it's about a 2 hour procedure give or take. Take some Ibuprofen before I come in because my mouth will be open for a while.
