Went to the dentist again tonight...

I was scheduled to have 3 more filling and my mouth had also been bothering me a lot

Well my gums were swollen around one of my wisdom teeth

So I ended up having 2 fillings and my wisdom tooth pulled...OMG it was horrible.

I should have kept my eyes closed...but they were open and I saw that huge instrument they use for extraction...which made it 10X worse...I was crying

Hopefully now that you have had all this work you will start to feel better. I don't like going to the dentist either.

Oh I know your pain all to well, I had to have all four of mine pulled out at the same time. I think you should be born with perfect teeth and never have problems!!!! Teeth pain is the worst thing ever, I swear it's worse then giving birth (which I have done)

Just keep the advil coming every 4 hours!! Sorry for your pain Feel better!!

He wanted to give me a referral to an Oral Surgeon to have all 4 out BUT my insurance expires tomorrow So he decided to just take one out because it was really bothering me and very decayed as well...he showed me the tooth afterwards...it was gross

Re: Went to the dentist again tonight...

Oh no I am getting upset now, I have been putting off going to the dentist, why do I feel like I am going to be in the same boat as you Kathleen?

I guess we should think of it as a quick way to lose weight if you can't eat

I wish I hadn't put it off for so long....but I hate the dentist..I would rather go to the gynocologist.

You should definetely go as soon as you can.

No problem

Do you need a recommendation for a dentist??

Seriously...the only thing that got my a$$ in gear was the fact that my insurance is ending...I wish I had done this sooner. I wouldn't have had as many cavaties

Re: Went to the dentist again tonight...

Oh no girls i'm so scared I've never been knocked out before either!!

I HATE the dentist! I waited so long to go, but i just could not take it anymore, my bottom wisdom teeth have been bothering me so much. This is not going to be fun!

Re: Went to the dentist again tonight...

I was just talking about going to the dentist. I haven't been there is awhile. I hate going too.
Now I'm nervous I hope there is nothing too serious going on in my mouth.

I hope you feel better!!!!!

Re: Went to the dentist again tonight...

I've had all 4 wisdom teeth out for a while now...no pleasant experience!! But the last one I was awake and he just went in and I heard a CRACK and like that it was out. It took all of 5 seconds. And to think I was gonna shell out the extra $100 for anesthesia.

If you want cheap dental insurance, let me know. I pay $150 a year for mine, and it covers about 75% of the costs and a lot of things are free or really cheap.

I pay the $150 a year for dental on my own, because most jobs nowadays will not cover dental!!

It's Dentcare, or Healthplex.
