I went in today to see my dentist thinking it was just the one really bad tooth on the left side of upper front teeth. Well...after he looked at them all it was decided that the only two worth even considering saving at this point in time were my two very front teeth. Every thing else on the top went. Now I have my two front top teeth and one molar in the back on each side on the top. I have all the bottom teeth in the front so far but no back teeth.
The dentist didnt listen to me about how I dont numb up like most people. The epinephrine they put in the shots makes me shake and get all upset plus it makes the medicine leave my body very fast. I have to have more shots than the average person. There is another type shot they can give but I never remember the name so they dont take me seriously. Anyway...they attempted to get me numb but I could still feel them working on me. He took one tooth I dont think he had thought he was going to take so I dont think he had actually given the shots to numb for that tooth but he hoped it would hold over. It didnt. One of the teeth snapped in half and flew across me and hit the assistant on her chest. About this time all pain control was gone and he had begun to file my jawbone down with some kind of metal file on the top of my mouth. I was moaning with tears coming down my face and choking. He finally said...well we are done and he looked at me. He said "is it really hurting?" I nodded yes. He asked how long and I told him. He said damn and ran to get another two needles of anesthesia I felt those and winced badly. He was so shocked.
I was shaking so badly. I had to drive myself home and I went by Billy's job and asked him to pick me up soft stuff so I could have something to put in my tummy so I can take my medications.
I am freaking miserable. I know people who have teeth pulled and they are just fine the minute the tooth is out. Tony for example. Me? Everything in the world goes wrong for me. Just a few weeks ago I found a sliver of bone working its way out of my gum in the back. Thankfully it wasnt a big issue.
I hope I get some sleep tonight. I cant believe Tony didnt even call me after I had this done though. I had to call him. Sigh.
