Part Three of FOur Parts

Devoted Readers have followed my exploits in the dentist's office from my initial abcessed tooth and agonizing death of the nerve, to my root canal proceedures. I am now at the third part of has turned out to be a four part experience.

The second temporary filling was removed and the pin inserted, a quantity of dental epoxy was used to secure it, there was a very modern heat gun used to quickly dry the epoxy, a considerable bit of drilling and shaping, oh! and the dentist used novocaine this time. And the result if all this is yet another temporary dental whatsit, this time a plastic crown. I'll be getting the gold crown with the diamond next month.

I had you going for a moment, didn't I? Actually, I'll be getting a plain enamel crown next month.
