Tooth Ache
I've had a real bad run of luck lately with my teeth. First, a tooth on the bottom left (just under the eye tooth) began hurting me (this was like 6 weeks ago). I went to the dentist even though there were no visible signs of a cavity. Turns out, not only was there a cavity, there was an extremely DEEP cavity so the dentist had to use the old metal filing shit so you can see it! YUCK. It needs a crown but she didn't want to do one until we knew if the tooth was going to need aa root canal. It hasn't bothered me one bit (other than how it looks) until this week.
So I made an appointment last week for this Monday (tomorrow) and wouldn't you know it, yesterday my mouth started hurting so bad that I was near tears. But it wasn't THAT tooth... its actually one of my bottom wisdom teeth. Years and years ago I had a filling in that tooth so I guess there is another cavity or whatever. I sent Craig to get me some Orage! yesterday and once I got the bottom tooth numb, it became apparent that the tooth above it was hurting TOO. WTF?
I brush my teeth 3 times a day (I really do) and I obsess about flossing. I floss after almost everything I eat, most of the time not even waiting until I brush. I can go through a container of floss in no time. My teeth are driving me nuts. I can't wait for 9am tomorrow. I've NEVER looked forward to going to the dentist until now!
