Woe is me!

I'm off to the dentist this afternoon. ::sigh:: A long-deferred visit, finally made unputoffable by the fact that I have toothache. Thing is, it's the sort of toothache that serves as a polite but persistent reminder that All Is Not As It Should Be. With an undercurrent of Ignore Me And You'll Live To Regret It.

Good God, my teeth are talking to me! Does this count as hearing voices in my head?

PS The mood icon! That's me, in the dentist's chair. Oh dear.

Even going to the dentist is better than living with a toothache. Hope it goes well!

Even if it's barely there, intermittemt toothache? Not convinced. I think I only gave in because I was worried it'd develop into fullblown raging toothache on a Saturday night or Sunday morning. *g*

It went fine, BTW.The problem was a massive cavity in an upper molar, with the pain somehow being referred to the lower jaw. The dentist has a new toy: a camera on a probe thingy, with a screen where the patient can see it. He drilled away the surface of the tooth and then showed me the cavity, and my reaction was that whole teams of cavers could get lost in there...

So root treatment. And I had to take 3 grammes of amoxycillin before he'd do anything, because of my heart murmer. Three grammes! Next appointment on Monday, when hopefully, the job will get finished. The rest of my teeth, thankfully, are in reasonable shape. Whew!

The problem is that little toothaches turn into big, unbearable toothaches - and can do so very quickly. Usually on a weekend. Right.

That camera-in-the-mouth technology sounds scary!

Good thing the rest of your teeth are fine.
