Long time no post

Sorry it has been so long since I have posted guy, I have been very busy since I got back to WuHan. I have been getting some very serious dental work done, and although I wanted my Dad to be the first one to know I guess I am going to give everyone the news. On my lower left side I have two broken molars, the back two, one has been filled previously and the other developed a cavity and cracked. The one with the new cavity has been driving me crazy for about two years. It's been about 6 years since I have been able to chew anything on that side. I was convinced that I was going to have another molar removed from the amount of pain i was in, i broke down and had my girlfriend take me to the dentist. I paid for the specialist and after looking at the x-rays they took, decided he was going to pull the tooth. He didn;t even want to pull the one next to it. He said the teeth could be saved, I went off to another department and had the first session of a root canal done on the cavity ridden molar. I will be going back at the end of next week for the second session and perhaps the first session on the tooth next to it. The girl that did the root canal said she was pretty sure they could use the theeth as posts for crows, she also said a bridge for the right side where I am already missing a molar would be no problem either. I will be in and out of the dentist for 4-6 months, but the work is cheap, I could have all gold hardware for a fraction of what it would cost in the states for example. I estimate all the work at about 1000 US perhaps a little less if I go with a different metal. I am very excited by the news. I will try my best to keep everyone updated.
