Bummed by bum tooth.

I have stuff, made progress on stuff, and a bit hampered by a bum tooth.

An upper right premolar has been a mild annoyance for about 3 years, it flares up when I'm ill and lately it seems bummier than usual though I'm not outright sick. This is new and mildly concerning.

Haven't gone to the dentist in years, not even for an annual polishing. Aside from a general dislike of any medical facility, I ould not afford any treatment until recently where I could save from generous commissions.

I called up the dentist and found out if it came to that, I can afford a root canal. Or if it comes to it, an extraction.

The dentist who tended to my filling years ago only does Mondays, so I'm going to give this matter a few days, see if it settles down, then go in next week. If it gets worse by tomorrow, I'll make an appointment for any other dentists ASAP.

I'm going to finish what I can., and hopefully I can hold out until next week. if not, I'll inform of late delivery.

UPDATE #1: i'm going in for tomorrow, for a cleaning and an assessment of my tooth. probably not gonna get it rooted the same day. should still make it for delivery on the 5th. gives me a little time to draw & stuff.
