Mysterious sensitive tooth

-

Back in October 2022, one day during lunch, one of my teeth felt sensitive when I was drinking soup. I also sensed something akin to pre-sensitive discomfort when I physically pressed on it.

I consulted Dr Ting and I was told that it was the same troublesome tooth previously. So after the usual checking, she advised me to consult an endodontist. Upon my request, she gave me a list of recommended specialists and narrowed it further to one that was most convenient to me due to location. She then wrote a letter, detailing the history of that tooth, for me to pass it to the endodontist, Dr Bryan Ong.

I can't remember the details as it's been more than 4 months. I remember that on top doing the usual checks, Dr Ong also checked by using hot water, X-ray and CT scan. Strangely the tooth didn't feel sensitive to hot water that time. The scans didn't detect hidden canal or infection. Incidentally, he commented that the crown was well done. Also, it appeared that the source of discomfort was really from that tooth, and not from the neighbouring teeth. In short, he couldn't find the cause of the discomfort.

The next course of action was to monitor it for the next 3 months i.e. in January 2023. So far, the sudden spike in sensitivity occurred maybe only once or twice. Otherwise, I wouldn't notice anything wrong with the tooth unless I apply pressure on it and that too was only a slight discomfort. So I'm tempted to just keep the tooth, rather than extract it.

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 1)

-
Here are the character builds for my current run (with the help of Ban): Kyrie Fellblade/Marked Counter: Slow Secondary passives: Execute, Life Font Fellblade itself is a good class because of the various conditions it can inflict and most importantly they can inflict Sleep. Iirc, the only other human class that can do this is Gadgeteer. Their passive Malice increases the chance of landing it by 10%. Fellblade pairs well with Marked because both use ATK and MND in their offensive abilities. Also, Fellblade's abilities are mostly short range whereas Marked has some long range abilities. Execute for more damage. Life Font is for suvivability. Ban opined that with two healers, there's no need for Life Font but I discover that it enables Kyrie to survive just enough for a healer to heal her up, after having received massive damage. Ban advocated for Marked/Fellblade for superior Speed (1.00 vs 0.92) and defense (heavy armor). I resisted this for a long time because I

Fell Seal: Arbiter's Mark - character build (Part 2)

(continue from Part 1 ) Yates Anatomist/Wizard Counter: Cripple Secondary passives: Blessed One, Smart Casting Anatomist is the best healer in game due to the passive Legendary Healer, which also then boost the amount of self-healing by Blessed One. Although Ban thinks Anatomist's Dark spells are sufficient in dealing damage and so he suggests Alchemyst as Yate's secondary class, I choose Wizard for the following reasons: Quite often, demonic creatures have Dark immunity and other creatures have immunity to other elements. So having Dark, Water, Fire, Earth and Thunder spells enable Yates to cast the most suitable spell, especially when the enemies are vulnerable to certain elements. Flexible casting :) Smart Casting is useful so that I don't need to worry much about the positioning of the enemies relative to my other characters when using Mass Healing and the area effect damage spells. As stated in previous post , there "are so many devastating Skill ba

Strange expectorant

An expectorant cough syrup helps you to prevent phlegem from going to your lungs by expelling it via coughing or so I heard from doctors and pharmacists. That's why for cough that's caused by phlegm, it is not advisable to take suppressant cough syrup. Given that's the role, do you expect it to be drowsy? It should be non-drowsy so that you will be actively coughing out the phlegm, right? Not this Unizet expectorant. The doctor told me that it shouldn't be drowsy and yet some of his patients (including me) reported otherwise. I read the detailed information (on the piece of paper typically stuffed inside the box) and nowhere it indicated drowsiness as a side effect. Strange, huh?
