| HAPPY TERESA DAY!!!! (5/24/03 yeah i know i'm late!) so the first ever Teresa Day was great fun. I think it was fun because Ressa was involved and I <3 Ressa! Anyway, onto my incredibly bad and amusing story of the week. Get yourself a snack and get comfy cause this one might take a while... So my mouth has been bothing me for a couple of weeks. At first I was like "hey it hurts when i press down on my chin! check it out...owww!" Then it got to where my gums were hurting too. Then eventually my teeth in the front started to hurt as well. I mentioned it to my dad and he told me it was imaginary pain. Well my imaginary pain got so bad that i couldn't touch the bottom of my mouth, I couldn't bite down on anything, and I was taking at least 6 advil a day. So it gets so bad that my parents get me a dentist apointment. Here's where the story get's good. So they took all these x-rays of my mouth and junk. When the dude comes in he's like "have you ever been hit in the mouth before?" and i'm like "huh?!?!?" But he's like "Think back on your entire life. Have these front teeth ever been hit before?" I thought for a while and the only time I could remember was when I was like 7 or 8 and Nikie (my little sister) hit my chin and my bottom teeth when smashing up into my top teeth and broke one tooth. When I told him this he was like "Well because your mouth is changing, this is now causing problems with your teeth. Sometimes it'll be 30 years later before anything actually happens." But he explained to me that getting hit caused something to go wrong with my roots now that my mouth was changing and that he was going to have to perform root canal(sp?) on several of my teeth that day. He wanted to get started right then but I had a French III final to take so i had to run back to school for a while. So I come back later and I'm kinda freakin' out because i've never had major dental work done. So the dentist comes in and pulls my chair back and all that jazz. He gives me the first shot of novicane(sp?) which wasn't too pleasent. Then he had to cut open my gum and drain out an infection that had also caused my mouth to hurt like heck. It hurt pretty darn bad. Then he started to drill, but then thing was I was only numb in the front; I could still feel him drilling and stuff. So this hurt even worse and I screamed a little, but then he numbed me right up and everything was fine and dandy for about the next two hours. Around the end I could kinda feel my mouth again. I was trying to tell him, but my mouth was so full of crap that he couldn't understand me, so he was like "oh...you have a bad taste in your mouth?" and i like shook my head but the dental assistant went ahead and sprayed some water into my mouth. By this time my teeth are starting to throb. Then things got really bad. At this point i can pretty much feel everything he's doing. They go back to the front of my mouth and started sucking stuff out of my gums again. I swear, I have never felt such pain in my life. I griped onto the chair really tight and squeezed my eyes closed but it seemed like this horrible pain was just going on and on. Finally he stopped when i started crying and realized that I could feel everything. So this poor man (no, I have no anger towards my dentist) rushes off to get me more drugs while i'm sitting there bawling. After I got more pain medication I was fine again. The great part is that he didn't get to finish because everything was so jacked up in there, so I get to go back in a week so they can finish me off. oh joy... the good part of this story, my mouth doesn't hurt anymore and I can bite into foods again! |
