Wisdom Teeth :o(

>> Thursday, May 27, 2010

In my 24 years of life, I have never needed any dental work. No cavities, no teeth pulled, nothing! Well recently I have been having issues with my wisdom teeth. After a really nasty infection, I finally went to a dentist. I have no insurance and have been putting this off for a while. Well, I went to this dentist thinking that they were just going to do a assessment, tell me how bad it is, and have me come back to actually pull the teeth out. Instead, they did a quick X-ray, the dentist looked in my mouth, and told me he wanted both wisdom teeth out. Then a few moments later, a nurse came in and told me they would be removing both of my wisdom teeth today. I then became very nervous, and for very good reason.
One word to describe that experience- horrible!!! I have gone threw 3 C-sections, and I would take a C-section over having my wisdom teeth pulled out. The sound alone of the teeth being ripped out of bone had me freaking out. Not to mention the feeling of someone ripping teeth out of your mouth. The dentist who did this was awesome. I would highly recommend him, but I would suggest he take down the sign in his waiting room. The wooden sign they have hanging above the receptionists desk, which says “Painless Dentist”. This guy was a great dentist and did everything to assure I was as comfortable as you could possibly be.. Not that your that comfortable while teeth are being yanked out.
Right now only 5.5 hours after having my teeth out.. I feel awful!! I am in SO much pain. I can not talk, so I figured I’d write a blog post. Thank god I have my mom here helping me with my boys. Other wise I’d be in trouble. Especially since the boys are taking advantage of mommy not being able to talk. Bradley has even been doing bad things in front of me knowing I can not yell at him, and don’t feel well enough to chase after him to put him on time out.
I will just be happy when this pain subsides. One positive note about having the pain - I can not eat and it will help me with my diet. Lol. Ugh… I am off to ice my face, and hoping the swelling goes down, and the pain stops!
