Please I Have A Question????

Sure hope you're much better tomorrow. I saw on another post where someone suggested warm salt water. I forgot all about that when I had my wisdom teeth pulled. That worked great. You just have to make sure you do it 3,4,5 times a day. I also had some pain pill, but didn't need it.

Long ago I had impacted wisdom teeth pulled, so I know your pain! On the plus side, I lost a lot of weight... on the down side, I was 5'7" and only about 110 lbs at 17!!

My question is... why in the heck was he pulling the tooth to begin with? It should only be done as a last resort because your other teeth will shift and then you'll have some serious dental problems! Now you'll need some kind of bridge or something to keep the other teeth from shifting out of place. What a PITA!

I'm going to the dentist in the morning for a cracked tooth, and they are putting a crown on it. It will be my second crown.

Funny story....

I hate, hate, HATE to go to the dentist so much (I make him give me some Valium) that when I was a kid they had to knock me out to get into my mouth!

So.. one time I was telling a girlfriend about it. She was a very prim and proper Southern gentlewoman, and in her slow Southern drawl she says "Why Sherry Lynn, you should just do what I do. When he puts that little napkin around my neck and lowers that chair... I reach over and grab his testicles... look him in the eye... and say 'Now we aren't going to hurt each other, are we?'... I've neeeevvvver had a problem!"

I laughed so hard that everytime I think of going to the dentist, I always think of her! I can still hear her deep drawl. It was such a shock to hear her say something so naughty!

Hope you feel better soon...

LOLOLOL!!! I forgot all about that lil piece of advice for Amber - and I'm a southerner - although I'm far from prim and proper So Amber, add this advice to the others you've received but move this one to NUMBER 1!!
