Yep, mine got infected on a trip the usa, food hygiene there isn't what I'm used to. I was considering ripping my own teeth out, over the counter pain killers didn't help one bit.
It was a horrible experience
Wtf were you eating that led to the need for a root canal?
I had a lot of different stuff that vacation to the us, most of it absolutely garbage compared to what I'm used to. But unfortunately that was all that was available there.
Safe to say I'm bringing a bunch of protein shakes next time I'm there
The us is huge and has a ton of options. Both good and bad, regionally and nationally, but this takeaway is straight-up ridiculous. If you think you have to use protein shakes to get by, you are just bad at traveling.
I am not wasting my time on the road when I can be with family. It's ridiculous food deserts even exist
What does this mean? You can have good food in the us at home, on the road, with family, without family, alone, at a jousting event, whatever.
E: I see the confusion. I didn't mean having to travel in the us, I meant traveling to anywhere. Like finding good grocers, markets, restaurants, interesting spots, etc. They're literally everywhere. In any case, none of this has anything to do with your tooth.
We did travel to a variety of grocers and restaurants, nothing was decent
Sounds like you had a rotten tooth and are blaming it on some bs tbh.
Oh yea it had been dead for years, but I had an extremely consistent diet, and proper hygiene. In the us, neither of those were available
Well, that last part is not true at all, so it's tough to believe the rest. But have a good one.
