Woe is me!

Had to have a root canal filling a while ago.  That same tooth started hurting on friday.  Unrelentless pain.  Couldn't see my own dentist, she is away til tuesday so i had to drive about 15 miles to their other branch in sheldon, by the airport.

He was a brave dentist.  It was friday afternoon, his wife kept ringing him as he was meant to be home for 5pm and he gets presented with 'miss toothache' (he called me that!) and i was in fucking agony!  I have never ever screamed at a dentist before.  Poor bloke only had to touch my gum and i was writhing in agony.  Worst toothache ever.

He had to give me two injections, and then he drilled a hole in the back of my tooth going up into my gum to let the infection drain. yuk. He gave me antibiotics too.  I was a nightmare patient from hell and i think i am going to send him a thank you card.  He didn't have to see me, but i felt so much better afterwards.

You poor thing.

I think the dentist will love a thank you card from you.

  My teeth are going to make my dentist really rich.  I guess that's the silver (amalgam) lining.

  I just had a very sensitive tooth checked out.  The gum has receded to the point of exposing some of the root.
  My dentist treated it with medication and wrote me a prescription for a fluoride gel.  If the pain continues,
  he'll do a small filling.  It's OK for now as long as I don't chew anything intensely sweet on that side.

  I have to get going with my dental appointments.  I don't want to wait till I have another crisis.
