AH!
This last week has been crazy.... Kassidi stayed a couple of days... on day 2 I was opening a bottle of chocolate milk for her(with my teeth).... I know I know.... (having had a bonded front tooth since I was 11 I know better) Sure enough the lil bugger popped right off.
Nate called a dentist he cleans for and he got me right in..... and I started to tell him my story...or better the story of my front teeth.... from hitting them when I was 11...getting them bonded and a puplotomy(kids root canal) to my frenectomy and a year in a half in braces to close my gap...... to a couple of years ago when I was hit in the mouth by an ab lounge that recoiled. The trip to the ER and to see the dentist I was currently working for...who rebonded them for the second time to getting my gingivectomy(gum removal to elongate the teeth).... and then to December of 08 when once again the bonding came of at Christmas (I am a little vain about my teeth and it drives me nuts that they aren't right) To the current moment with the chocolate milk. Kassidi stood crying thinking it was her fault/ I assured her it wasnt... my teeth and I have a long history...... I told Dr. Arnes which teeth up front were dead and needed root canals and which werent....my goals for my teeth(dreaming big as I only know how to do.) He looked in my mouth and said you don't have a choice for the rootcanal on #8(I cringed inside, I know all about them...working in dental offices for 6 years... I have explained them, talked people into getting them...comforted people about them.... I just wasn't ready for it to be my turn.) I have the Novocaine shots in the front of my mouth or on the palette they hurt the worst so I opted out of it and said just do it... Nate said" Are you sure?" I replied "yes they are dead so I will feel a little pressure and maybe a little tenderness thats all." (it might have hurt a little worse then I thought it would..... going back... get the Novocaine next time)
Here I was expecting one root canal and he did 2...Grrr. I left with my front tooth in half still and formaldehyde up inside of it to kill any infection...tasty.
Kassidi was a champ, she didnt complain when I told her I had to go back to the dentist first thing in the morning for him to finish everything.
so 8 am rolled in...got me back finished the root canals(a little more tender at that point, but still refused to get a shot.) He rebonded my front tooth filled in the one next to it and called it happy...... On Friday I woke up and told Nathan my mouth hurt really bad.... but I took some ibuprofen and it went away.... the infection came back.... UGH! so I sucked it up all weekend(mostly cause I am a red head and I was mad.....punished only myself) slept all day Sunday and called DR.Arnes office first thing Monday.... got an antibiotic.... and now we are happy again.....
Moral of the story... Get Novocaine the first time around....
