Up a Canal without a Nerve

Little known fact about me: I have had horrible teeth. I have amelogenesis impecfecta. Which is a fancy way of saying ‘soft teeth’ – I inherited the disorder from my Dad, who had dentures at an early age. It’s definitely treatable – – with regular visits to the dentist. My problem?
