Yet another dentist appointment. 2 goals. Put on a permanent crown and extract a precarious wisdom tooth. The former wasn't fun... the latter sucked a big one. As I was laying there with her standing (oh yeah, standing for good leverage) over me, I was thinking... am I really letting someone rip a tooth from my person.
As it turns out, yes I was.
So now I sit with a mouth full of gauze and a dull ache watching some mindless television. I hope this heals soon. If you find it in your heart to throw a prayer my way, I would be ever so grateful.
Don't get a dry socket, don't get a dry socket, don't get a dry socket...I had all four of my wisdom teeth taken out at once and got a dry socket in one. Talk about HORRIBLE! Take it easy, rest up, and you won't have to worry about it again!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are hanging in there my dear!
ReplyDeletebummer.......when I was in high school I had 2 teeth pulled on the sizes of my mouth. The dude used hardware plyers and twisted twice and they were out. I was in shock at how easy teeth come out.
ReplyDeleteI hate the dentist. I hate everything about the dentist. I hate the smell of the dentist. I hate the dentist's perfect teeth. I hate when the hygentist asks if I "flossed". I hate being made to feel like a child, not an adult, when they lecture me on how to properly brush.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I don't feel your pain, but I hate the dentist, too.
So, where you awake when they pulled your wisdom tooth?? If so...YIKES!!!!
ReplyDeleteI had all 4 of mine pulled when I was in high school, but they definitely gave me something so that I was asleep during the procedure.
Hope you are feeling back to normal soon.
