Root canal numero uno finished. Gutta percha is now lodged in my gum, to the root. GP is a polymer, and is used in latex. It's also used in my mouth.

Gutta percha's strength, melting point and bonding ability make it a good candidate for dental endodontics.

A painless experience, though invasive: scraping around in my head with what amounts --size wise-- to a trowel.

Cost: $450 (paid in 3 installments)
