Hey Kaela,
I'm just wondering how your toothache is? And to let you know i was suffering terribley with toothache over the last few weeks, and I too am terrified of the dentist, but I did have to bite the bullet and get my arse to the dentist, he gave me antibiotics and it cleard the toothache up, if your tooths infected then all a dentist will do is give you antibiotics, then when the infections gone you'll have to go back. What Tom said to you was in no way meant nasty, he said the exact same to me when I was suffering but I found his comment really helpful cos he made me realise that the initial injection in your gum is like 3secs of pain but then your tooth'll be sorted so no more banging head ect. But saying that if your tooths infected then I would of thought the dentist would just give you antibiotics, now c'mon K, get your botty to the dentist, cos it aint worth your recovery babe xx
GOODLUCK
love
Gabbi

The scariest thing is I have lost some feeling in the corner of my mouth, like on my bottom lip. Nerve damage? Will feeling come back? I DONT WANNA GO TO THE DENTIST. God, this is a problem for me. How did you finally make yourself go?

Hey Miss K Im gonna let you in on an embarrassing thing about myself but just to show you your not alone in your feelings.Years ago I was 21 I was preg & my daughter drained whatever calcium I had my teeth started to go real basd.I ended up at a dentist that always called my home asking me out when I turned him down well lets just say gentle is not a word I would use about him.Anyways he ended up hurting me so bad that for the last 10 years I yank my own teeth out because Im so afaid,but ya know what I figure if I can get over usen & get myself some therapy that maybe its time I get the rest of my bottoms done.So I understand your feeling.Try to rinse ALOT with hot salt water to keep an infection at bay.....mj
You sound just how I did, I was in that much pain that I was getting the urge to score, and I'm not even going down that route again so I had to get to the dentist, I was lucky cos there is a new dentist at my practice and i've heard really good things about him, he is an angel in disguise!!!
Honsetly, we build it up in our heads and its always worse in our minds than in reality, seriously it sounds like you need some kinda anti biotics to get rid of the infection, remember Kalea, it isnt going to get any better, only worse, so please do yourself a favour and find a decent dentist, even if you only get antibiotics off of them. Cos NOTHING is worth interferring with your recovery and we all now how sh!te toothache is, and even if he did have to take the tooth away or summat, for a few mins of being uncomfy, then the pain will be gone, go on, bite the bullet and get to a dentist, I am sooooo glad I went xxx
GOODLUCK

My deal with the dentist is I had a mean one when I was a kid. I remember shaking so bad that the nurses had to literally hold my legs still so he could work. He would get frustrated and say Stop shaking and crying, I can't work on you like this and it is only making it harder on yourself. F'ing a******. If I knew of a dentist doing that to my child I would literally kill him with my bare hands. He should have used a nice tone not a mean one. He would even grit his teeth when he said it. Oh yea... that is going to relax a small child. He was so big too... god probably 6'5 300 pds. Looked huge, my god. And his hands smelled of cigarettes so badly it made me puke, literally sometimes. He is still practicing..... Good ol' Dr Quig. Speaking of which, I am adding calling his office today to my to-do list. Now that I am am adult, and telling him what a mean person he was and plead for him to get a few classes under his belt as to how to handle children. Then maybe I will drive up to NC and stomp his fat a**, though I really don't have time for that now. This was in the 70's. Dentistry for children didn't exist yet. Honestly, he probably didn't mean to scare me for life but he did and he needs to know it in case he still uses scare tactics with kids. He probably was never taught how to handle children back then and perhaps had little patience with children as a person. I don't know why but I always make excuses for people that hurt me. Defense mechanism I think. Think I should let dead dogs lye or should I call that mean dentist and nicely explain what he put me through so that he may be more sensitive to other children? Suppose I should have done that years ago. He should remember me though, after all my mom was banging him.... slut.
Kalea,
I would let that dentist know that he trumatised you as a little un just in the hope that he wont do it again, but i would suggest that you find another dentist, ask about and see if you can find one thats been recomended by someone you know, cos not all dentists are ogars!!! I thought they were cos i too have had really bad experiances at the dentist but now i've found a decent one i'm sticking to him like glue. Thats the secret I recon finding a decent dentist, cos its always much worse thinking about it than doing it HONESTLY xxx

Boy, I bet you felt proud walking out after it was all done. God bless you, I hope I find the strength. I take a cruise around the world in the middle of April. I can't be stuck on a boat in agony and I sure DO NOT want a dentist from another country in my mouth haha. To attempt that cruise before seeing a dentist could mean the whole thing ruined because of pain. My husband paid alot to make this happen, can't fail him now. And to avoid the dentist and hop on that ship wouldn't be fair to him. What is the loss of feeling in a small area on my bottom lip all about? Ever heard such?
K, you deffo need to get this sorted before you go away, I still need to go back to get the tooth pulled but for the mo' the infections gone and i'm pain free, i do have an appt in april to have this done and yep I'm sh!tting myself but it cant be as bad as the tooth ache was!!!!
I have no idea why the feelings gone so get your bum to the dentist he will know xxx

Well I really freaked after learning a toothache could send infection directly to your brain. I don't neeeeeed that... HA! I had no clus toothaches could even be serious much less EXTREMELY so.
I never knew that but I suppose it makes sence, when I had an abcess the other week it went up into my sinuses Ewwww!! and boy that was painful, so you REALLY need to find a dentist babe x
Reckon what an extractions costs? Roughly. I don't plan on investing to safe it. Have overcrowding anyway.
The dentist told me it'd cost about 30.00 (roughly $60) to have it pulled, 1500.00 to have it replaced with a false one!!!! Yeah right like i can afford that, so i'm just gonna be a little more gummy LOL
Hey: I hear guys like that in a lady hehe.
LOL, I'm stayin away from men at the mo'
Kaela,
I didn't read this whole thread but wanted to jump in and say if you go to the ER they won't mess with your tooth but they will give you antibiotics to take away the infection which will then take away your pain... The pain will eventually come back but you should have some relief for a while. An extraction normally runs me 80-120 bucks.... Hope you feel better!
Good Morning Gabbi and MJ, Gotta run this morning, be back later! Rae

I have a song in my heart this morning.... been along time since I felt that. He's got the whole world lalala in his hands he's got the whole wide world in his hands lalala. Two mornings in a row that I can actually say I am in a good mood. Then again, who can sing that and not end up in a good mood. Hope this puts a song in someone else's heart. Uhm, off the subject but will tapering make you not have your cycle?.... god what if I am prego and have been taking Xanax. I could only be less than a month into it but the thought horrifies me. My husband and I have been tentatively trying for about a year, not realizing you couldn't just stop Xanax. Just a thought and something for me to worry about. God, I get on my nerves.
