Last month, I wrote about being allergic to my home. It’s true. But it turns out that it wasn’t my primary problem. I got a toothache a few weeks ago. Suspecting a cracked tooth, I went to the dentist. Sure enough I had a cracked molar on the upper right and it had infected the root, so I needed a root canal. The dentist asked if I was having any problems with my sinuses. He explained that the x-ray showed that my sinus cavity was below the end of the tooth. The infection in the root was keeping me sick. He said I would feel better once the root canal was done and that my sinuses would start clearing up immediately.

It worked. It’s still Spring and Nashville is in bloom, so I’m still struggling some. But I feel tons better. Looks like we should have been listening to our dentists after all. Gotta go floss my teeth…
