A View from the Dental Office

Birds in Juniper Tree


Yesterday I went to the dentist because I've had a swollen place on my gums for a while. Originally I was going last week but I canceled because I was exposed to Covid. Fortunately, I did not come down with it.

Some of the treatment rooms look out on an atrium and there are birdfeeders out there. While I was waiting for the dentist to come in and examine my x-rays, I tried to take pictures of birds with my cell phone. The birds disappeared when I stood close to the window so I had to step back and make the best of it. A colorful bluejay and male cardinal did not come back but I got a few pictures of other birds.

Dr. Zunka said I have an infection under tooth #19. He recommended an endodontist in Manassas fot a root canal. I was not happy to hear this but it will be a relief to get that taken care of.

  4. I have never had a root canal procedure and hope never to have the pleasure. Good luck with yours. May it go smoothly.

  5. I don't think root canals are all that bad, having had my share of them. Best to save the tooth. She says having lost a few. Infections can make one's life pretty unhappy.
