Root Canal


Alex had to visit the dentist today. He had to have a root canal and crown put on. Back in the end of February he stumbled while walking across the blacktop at school. Not knowing to put out his hands to break his fall he landed face first seriously damaging one or more of his teeth. Marycke went and got him and rushed him over to our dentist, Mike Majors. Mike put on a temporary crown. It has been very difficult to find a dentist that has an anesthesiologist on staff. But finally we are here!

The Doc was able to do the root canal and place a half crown on the tooth. He thinks the one to the left may also be cracked. On the plus side, they checked the rest of Alex's teeth and did not find any cavities. Perhaps it is all the saliva or that Alex does not eat sweets but we are thankful his teeth are okay. Sinc ehe was sedated, they went ahead and put sealants on the back teeth.
