was worse than the last. The pain from the February 16th visit had continued, so yesterday I made an appointment to deal with that pain.The dentist discovered that one of the teeth he had filled had a cracked root. The only option was to extract it. Unfortunately, the roots of this tooth were as large and deeply embedded as those of the tooth beside it that the dentist extracted during my last visit. It took him close to 45 minutes to get this tooth out—and when it finally released its grip on my jaw, it came out in two pieces.
The extraction was performed about seven hours ago and I remain in pain—even with the painkilling meds the dentist prescribed.
Hey! I am getting tired of writing about my medical and dental problems! I hope that by tomorrow I can be back into my old blogging routine.
I hope this takes care of it for you. Dental pain is no joke.
ReplyDeleteOuch! I hope you have nothing new regarding your health to post tomorrow--unless its that all the pain is gone!
ReplyDeleteOh, no! Not another tooth pulled! I trust you will not have to visit the dentist again for a while.
ReplyDeleteOwch! You poor thing Nick. Take lots of drugs and a shot of brandy. That should put you into dream land for a while.
