Dentist Appt Today.

So I called my mom yesterday because my
wisdom tooth has been catching LOADS of
food and it's REALLY starting to annoy
me!!
I cleaned it out yesterday after I ate,
and it felt REALLY jagged. So I just KNEW
it would be decayed and have to be
pulled.
So, me & Oni went in this morning and
had both of my top wisdom teeth checked
out. And low and behold, I have to have
them BOTH removed!!! With wisdom teeth, if
they DO come out, they normally get
decayed because they're not easily
reached. ANd wind up needing to be pulled.
As performing a filling WAAAAY back there
isn't worth ANYONE'S time.
THANKFULLY it can wait another 8 weeks to
be pulled, cuz I NEED Nitrous to have
these extractions done.
My mom also found that I'm in the
beginning stages of pregnancy induced
Gingivitis. 
Soooo, I've been put on Antibiotics (4
times a day) to heal the gingivitis and
prevent further infection of my wisdom
tooth. Both of these things can have a
negative effect on my baba.
what SUCKS, is that I was JUST at the
dentist to have a filling done about a
month and a half ago! Why didn't he just
check all my teeth then??! I was like 25
weeks preggy!
GRRRR!!! This BLOWS!!

i hope your teeth don't get worse before
they can be pulled!
here's a dirty little secret of mine- i
haven't been to the dentist in at least 9
years.

I hope they don't either!! I asked my mom
to list the pro's and cons of waiting and
it made more sense to wait.
THe anxiety of having to have 2 teeth
pulled at once, without nitrous, would
probably put me into labor. LOL! The time
it would take to heal, due to the
pregnancy, would be about 3 times longer.
And I wouldn't be able to take anything
BUT tylenol for the pain afterwards.
I knew that my gums would bleed. They did
for Oni. I figured it was normal. Ya know?
But when my mom got in there and barely
touched my gums, they started gushing. And
that's not good. Common, but not good.
Baron hadn't been to the dentist EVER
until he met me. Of course, he has NO
cavaties. I go every 6 months religiously,
and seem to have a cavity EVERY effing
time!!!!! Genetics blows!! I can thank my
dad for my dental issues!!
I don't floss. I KNOW I should, and I KNOW
I need too. I just don't. I take WAAAAY
better care of Oni's teeth than I do my
own!!

Me neither...I'm deadly afraid of
dentists. The last time I went I had my
front teeth capped because some stupid ho
bag decided to flip her hair while I was
drinking a beer and chipped all my front
teeth. I don't even like beer , It was
just a sip and got my teeth broken for it!
I went because i couldnt live with chipped
teeth and had all my teeth filled, cleaned
and capped and I know I should be visiting
but i am soooooooo afraid..I would rather
give birth naturally to 15 lbs baby than
visit a dentist....

I've always had a fear of needles. So when
I go to the Dentist, i'm an avid believer
of Nitrous!! I swear, it's the best, LEGAL
high a person could get!!!!!
You wake up, and they're DONE!!!
I had the same thing happen to my front
teeth, just not chipped by a glass. So I
know the pain you went through with that.
I had veneers put on about 3 years ago! I
have celebrity teefuses now!! LOL!!
It's not the dentist, the drill, or any of
that that bothers me. It's the needles. I
REFUSE to have them...but in these cases
NEED them. So I get the Nitrous and out I
gooooo!!! LOL!

Yeah me too. The last time I was so
nervous they had to keep giving needle
after needle because it was not taking
affect. Having a giant needle in your gums
is the worst! I had two assistants holding
me down!

Even Nitrous wasn't enough for THAT pain.
I was in TOTAL LALA land and sprang up
when they put the needle in my gums!!!
I was crying my eyes out!!!! And I'm not
some broad that can't take pain...
That caca huuuuuurts!!
So that's why I'm going to wait till I
have this bebe to have the 2 teeth
pulled.
Hopeully these antibiotics will keep my
bebe safe!!!! I don't want pre term labor
OR a tiny bebe!!!

If you ever have tooth aches just put some
tylenol directly on the tooth and let it
melt and also try baby orajel....it will
help.

I hate the drill. I can handle the
needles and everything else a dentist can
dish out. I can't stand the sound of the
drill. Oh and the smell of drilled teeth
makes me cringe.

I hate going to the dentist also. I went
once when I was pregnant to get my teeth
cleaned & that was the first time in
like 10 years. They told me I had to get
this teeth pulled & that tooth filled
& that I might possibly need a root
canal. Needless to say I haven't been back
since. I really need to go though because
my wisdom teeth are going all different
directions. One stabs into my cheek, the
other one is all screwed up. I hate my
teeth.

Sarah i didnt know your mom was a
dentist!
My wisdom teeth are coming in, and they're
actually putting a lot of pressure on the
teeth beside them, and literally messing
them up.. I need to go to the dentist and
get the teeth in front of the wisdom teeth
pulled because one of them is really badly
damaged now, and the other side, i had a
flouride treatment done several years ago,
and was told not to chew ice because it
could chip it off and do damage to the
tooth.. well lets just say i didnt listen
and now one of my teeth in the back is
half gone :-O im terrified to go to the
dentist tho.. i HATE being in pain.

I hate the dentists tooooooo! They always
give me the needle several times because
it doesnt take effect, why cant they just
increase the amount of the numbing stuff
in the first injection!?
I haven't been since sometime before I was
pregnant with Jay, 6+ years ago. I take
Jay for a check up every 6 months though
ofcourse
