Dentist

[Trouvere]

I have an appointment with the dreaded dentist.Pray for me.I lost a filling chewing gum over the weekend last weekend and have had a toothache for a week.Today is the dreaded day.I don't want to be laid up all night with a heating pad and drugs.Last night I took IBU 800's and slept on the couch with a heating pad over my face.I hate toothache.I also hate extractions.I thought yesterday of that revival Brother Stoneking preached where the Lord filled peoples teeth.No not with Gold.It was the real thing...enamel.I need that really bad right now.

What do you mean you are falling apart?

One tooth at a time.The week before my back right molar lost its filling and half the tooth as well.I am falling apart one tooth at a time.

I will pray for you.

I also hate going to the dentist. After my last experience, I would rather do anything than go to a dentist. They were supposed to be pulling a tooth... the tooth broke off mid-extraction-- and the feeling came back. It was too late then to give me anything else-- so they had to finish removing the tooth-- and I felt everything. If I never have to go back to a dentist again, it would be perfectly fine with me.

I have dentalphobia. My teeth will rot out of my head before I see one again.

Well the word is in.I am still in pain.I have to see an Endodonist to do three root canals.Good thing I have dental insurance but I will be paying out the nose for this work.My share just at the dentist and after insurance is going to be fifteen hundred dollars.Get this.My teeth are decaying from the roots downward.I was told to go out and buy tooth paste called Pro-Sensidyne.It cost almost five bucks a small tube and some of that new Acts mouthwash restorative.I bought some calcium tabs as well and orajel to be able to stand it until all this is done.I hope I am not on the heating pad again tonight.Its getting to be old sleeping on the couch or in the recliner.
I will pray for anyone who needs it.
The dentist ask me what I was doing that decayed my teeth so bad.I have no idea.I use diet sweetners.So I am off coffee,off diet coke and drinking only water.Also I have to drink water every time I feel my mouth is dry.Go figure.
I will be doing this all day.Its possible that acid reflux while I sleep is doing this to me so I am going to go to the md now.The eye doctor,dentist and md all in one week.What next???? The copays are killing me.
Anyone with naturapathic ideas would be very welcome about right now.

Hey sis, let me give you a hint that will help. Take a pillow slip and fold it up and wet it and then put it in a freezer bag and put a little water in it and put it in the microwave and heat it up until the water is almost boiling and them wrap it up in a towel and put it on the side of your face that is hurting and it will help with the pain and the swelling.

I know it sounds wierd, but it works a lot better and faster than a heating pad. It might be a shock at first, but then it will settle down.
