Finally the last tooth ache led me to a new dentist that is actually helping me. We did 2 teeth the first visit.
Today was the removal of another 4 teeth first thing this morning... I can finally feel my face, however it is swollen on the right side. The pain is incredible. Thankfully I still have pain pills from the last visit. He did say if I needed more to give them a call.
We have a couple more visits and then we can go over to the other place to get fitted for our new teeth. Mind you there is going to be a pause in there for a few weeks while it all heals.
It seems no one likes really going to the dentist. I used to be bothered by the needle they used to numb your mouth. It was huge and metal like something you'd use on an Elephant or something... and the pain....
It's a liquid, soft diet for a while. I'm already hungry, and have been all day. Time to get creative with some recipes. Jello, Pudding, lots of water, milk, milkshakes, yogurt.... but what else can I eat? We're talking a few weeks of liquid diet. . .
Supposed to take it easy and rest for the next few days. Infection under one of the teeth has caused the pain to be worse than normal. And I need to make sure it heals before the hole closes... So today I'm a hurting unit.
I'm not sure yet how much my insurance is going to help out. It really all depends on how many teeth we are going to need. I'm trying not to think about it too much, as this all had to be done for the infection. So I really didn't have a choice regarding the bad ones coming out.

Glad to see technology finally made it to the dentist office. The needle was much smaller and it took effect much quicker. Because of the infection he had to use a lot, which sucked, I think I got jabbed about 6 times. That might be why it has taken all day to finally feel my mouth again.
I'd love to hear your feelings about 'going to the dentist'. What you like or dislike. Please Feel free to share in the comments.
