Filling One Hole, Creating Another

I wasn’t hallucinating, my tooth did hurt. I managed to get an appointment this afternoon thanks to my kindly dentist who double booked me. It ends up I had a hole inside my tooth. After the injection (note to self : next time don’t look at the needle), some drilling, some prodding, some poking and some other-stuff-ing I have a filling that should hopefully keep the pain at bay. After she finished she said the hole was even bigger than she had thought from the x-ray and it was a good thing I went in today.

I have to go back for some more exploration and if this filling doesn’t work it’s root canal or extraction. Ugh and ouch on both counts so hopefully what I had done today will work.

The hole in my tooth is now filled but another giant size one has appeared in my wallet. Any ideas on where I can get that one fixed?
