Resorption

I just realized that I never broached the subject of resorption. I am not sure if I am spelling this correctly. Very simply put, likely due to the damage my jaw sustained which is inherent in the surgery, one of my teeth died (root was dissolved almost completely). Due to numbness in the jaw I had no tooth pain and nearly lost the tooth altogether. I had a very extensive root canal and so far so good. The tooth is still there! I just wanted to mention that it is something to keep an eye out for. Maybe you can ask you dentist to keep and extra set of eyes on your xrays so it can be caught before it gets too bad. I caught mine in the nick of time!
