So I have had this jacked up tooth on the top left for about 3 months now.. Didn't start hurting til about a month and a half ago.. The wisdom tooth next to it came in and broke half of it off along with some of the filling and my dang root was exposed.. So February 13th I went to the dentist to have it extracted but no nothing is easy when it comes to me.. I had an infection and he wanted to run antibiotics for 10 days.. So I started them that day and he didn't prescribe me anything for the pain and advised me not to us any more oraljel because that could affect the numbing process when I come back.. Well I was in pain and needless to say I did enjoy some oraljel.. Not much but I guess just enough to make my experience on the 22nd not so fun.. So I am in lots of pain for 10 days with only minutes of relief with the oraljel that one time.. The 22nd arrives and I am beyond ready but extremely nervous all at the same time because I was scared that the infection would still be there and the tooth would have to stay in longer.. So when my wife got home from work at 5am on the 22nd she made me a wonderful breakfast since it may be awhile before I can eat anything solid if I get to have my tooth extracted.. She made omelets. Yummy. Mine was fresh spinach with limp bacon and lots of cheese!! She made some biscuits to go with it!!! She is so good to me!!! Then I took a bubble bath to get relaxed because by this point my anxiety was through the rough.. My wife washed and straightened my hair for me.. Then longest 20 minute car ride of my life.. Get to my dentist whom I've been to since I was about 13 Dr. Peterson. I get there 30 minutes before my appointment and they call me back right away.. Get back there everything turns out ok. NO INFECTION, thank God.. Then the first shot of Novocaine.. 25 mins go by not that numb so the 2nd shot of Novocaine.. 25 more mins go by he does a couple things to see if I can feel it and yep sure enough still not numb so he gives me a 3rd spike of Novocaine.. 20 mins later he comes in there and I seem to be numb enough or so I thought.. He starts pulling away.. Ouch!! Why am I feeling this I say to my self and then the most horrible horrendous pain I have ever felt in my whole life shot through my mouth I yell so loud.. How embarrassing!! Then cam spike 4 of Novocaine!! Now my whole dang face feels numb so yep Id say im good and numb now.. Lets try this again says the Dr. "Cross your fingers it comes out easy" he says.. OMG I say to my self thanks for jinxing me you fucker.. So he starts pulling and the pressure is intense but not to bad.. Tugging around on that S.O.B of a tooth.. HE used all kinds of different tools and then comes this huge scary looking thing.. He is pulling and tugging and the scary thing slipped and busted my FN lip.. I didn't feel it because of the Novocaine but it was bleeding a lot and he immediately said were going to have to cut it out. Shoot that'll be another $100 because I dont have insurance so it goes from $192 to $292 just like that. He did try everything he could so he wouldn't have to cut it out. I have never had a tooth cut out before so I did not know what to expect but boy oh boy that was so traumatizing.. There was a drill and the smell alone was freaking me out. He go the first 2 roots no problem then came the 3rd S.O.B root.. It was being stubborn well finally it came out and oh man I felt it.. He said I have never seen roots this long.. Any ways so the very hot dental assistant wipes all the blood off my face and he prescribes me some good pain meds and sends me on my way with a lot of apology's for busting my lip.. I know it was an accident so it's no big deal to me.. My sammie wham wham meets me at the door and helps me out to the car I was shaking and crying like a big baby. I took my baby toad (from Mario) sammie got me for Valentines Day but he didn't help me
any. lol. We go to Walgreen's to get my RX filled and this cute little kid says to his mom WOW her her is blue can I have my hair blue. She looks at me weird then looks at her kid and says if that is what you want. That was not what I expected to come out of her mouth.. Way to go for that mom!! She didn't judge me based on my hair color or that my wife was holding my hand instead she thought her kid a good lesson. Kids do as there parents do and I thought that was awesome of her.
Later.... I get home my baby fixed the bedroom up for me.. Lots of pillows, powerade, a throw up bucket (sick but sweet) and some books and magazines.. The meds kicked in fast though and I was out of it.. Now I am starving I have only had about 2 tablespoons of jello and half a cup of mashed potatoes. I have been drinking plenty of fluids though.. My meds are working pretty good.. I am no tin pain just sore.. I would like to thank my sammie so much for how amazing she is.. It's times like these that I know we'll be just fine when we are old and grey.
Oh and how could I forget... I have to have the wisdom tooth that is in pulled and the other 3 cut out soon so this doesn't happen again.. WOW I am soooooooooooo NOT ready for that!! Not one bit!!
Well that's my horrendous story of my scary crazy dentist appointment!!!
Til' next time peace and love!!!
