Sharni---I thought that it was a prerequisite to have wisdom,in order to have wisdom teeth! Irish

Yeah, the tooth itself stopped hurting yesterday, and most of the pain is in the swollen area's, around my jaw and cheek. It's absolutly huge still. Ugh.

Oh god, someone put me out of my misery!

Gilly---There's a very good chance,that Kissy is right & most of the
pain is from the infection & related things.I know that when you're
in pain,time seems to creep but give the medicine time!(Easy for
me to say!) Irish

-grins- well, they said 24-48 hours for the swelling to go down, and it won't be 24 hours until about 1:30 this afternoon. BLAH!

Just what I was going to say :D

Back from the dentist- again! Not for me, though. My 8 year old had to get 2 avities filled, but they were rather tiny still. Unfortunatly, she has a tooth that was pretty decayed in the back, and they weren't planning to pull it because she said it never bothered her. The unfortate part is that in the past few weeks, it's really started to bug her, and she has to go in next Thursday and have it extracted. So, back to back appt's next week again, too.

I swear, all this dentist time must be bad for my health.... right?

Just got back from my appointment. She numbed me, started the root canal, and found that she couldn't get it done, because no matter how much novacain she was giving me, I could still feel it. So, she stopped doing that, referred me to a specialist, AND, didn't charge for any of the work she did to that tooth.

Then, since I was there already, she filled two cavities I hade on my two front teeth. Basically the inner ridge on both those teeth, there was a small cavity started that was back to back on both teeth. It had a slightly curved in section, as well as some translucent area's on my two front teeth.

They look perfectly normal now, YAY! Also, she smoothed out the bottom of each of them to be flat. ;)

Hmmm... I don't mind going to the dentist at all. Sometimes it hurts a little, but I just close my eyes and zone out. I think I am one of my dentist's fave patients. :p

Lucky bastard. ;)


My teeth feel weird now, with the fillings on my two front teeth. They're also really suseptable to the cold. -eyes her slurpee-

Gilly---Try Sensodine Toothpaste!I have used it,(at my Dentists
suggestion)&,(for most people)it cuts out most of the sensitivity,
from temp,etc. Irish

I should pick some of that up. Thanks for the suggestion. :)

Gilly---FYI,It also comes in many flavors!It is available,at drugstores,Wal*Mart,etc.When I get my teeth cleaned,at the
hygenists(dentists office)they always give me a new brush,floss,
& tube of toothpaste! Irish
P.S.I'm not a real dentist,I just play one on TV,+ I stayed at a
Holiday Inn Select(TV commercial)last night.

Back from the dentist, again. Today was Raegan's turn, to get a tooth pulled out.




Not a fun visit. I can safely say she'll be terrified of dentists now, like I used to be. I don't think it was hurting her, but she was very nervous before going in, and it kept increasing as they started, until she was screaming her head off, and fighting the dentist. :( The dentist tried for almost an hour to get at the tooth, and only got it partially extracted. She referred us to an oral surgeon, who will knock Rae out to do the procedure. She also recommended having them perscribe her something like vallum to take before hand, so she won't be as scared.

Oddly, that's sooooo much like I was when I was a kid. Right down to having to take vallum for a dentist visit.
