I just learnt a sore tooth of mine is caused by my tooth root never fully closing (due to getting braces and shifting my teeth around). Now at 30 I need a root canal.

I’ve never even had a cavity before. I’m legit terrified. Teeth are the one thing that are much worse than nails on chalkboard for me.

How was your experience been? Any words of advice or words of encouragement? I could use it :(

    The us is huge and has a ton of options. Both good and bad, regionally and nationally, but this takeaway is straight-up ridiculous. If you think you have to use protein shakes to get by, you are just bad at traveling.

      I am not wasting my time on the road when I can be with family. It’s ridiculous food deserts even exist

        What does this mean? You can have good food in the us at home, on the road, with family, without family, alone, at a jousting event, whatever.

        E: I see the confusion. I didn’t mean having to travel in the us, I meant traveling to anywhere. Like finding good grocers, markets, restaurants, interesting spots, etc. They’re literally everywhere. In any case, none of this has anything to do with your tooth.

            Sounds like you had a rotten tooth and are blaming it on some bs tbh.

              Oh yea it had been dead for years, but I had an extremely consistent diet, and proper hygiene. In the us, neither of those were available

                Well, that last part is not true at all, so it’s tough to believe the rest. But have a good one.
