Tooth note

By the way, I just got a crown installed on my left upper last molar. It’s been in the works for months, being right behind an implant that got its crown six or eight weeks ago. This one should have gone on at the same time, but the dentist wasn’t happy about how he had prepared the tooth for it and the crown was redone after he did more work on the base of the tooth. That tooth had had a root canal years ago and there was no nerve in it, so all that work could be done (and was done) without novocaine. It was just a nuisance going back to the dentist so many times before it was finished. That long lunch in Boston was the crown’s first encounter with food.
