Dentist tomorrow first time in 30 years ?

Chew gum or a polo. It tricks the mind( if your eating you can’t be in a stressful situation) so it calms you down a bit, always helps me a bit
Thanks apple ...just wish it was over tbh ...leave in an hour for appointment ,,,, very anxious, tired , haven't eaten in 2days "starving".. the mad stuff the mind does
 
Good luck, let us know how it went :clover:

A very merry Xmas to you, too ? - hope the healing is going well!

Enjoy ?!!
 
Hi guys ...I don't think my extraction site has healed aswell as it should have ?..still have abit of a hole there & still have dull pain left side of head .... Worrying now that it's a thing called dry socket ... Wondering if it will heal itself over .... I have to see the dentist nxt Wednesday anyway for more work
 
Sorry to hear that you're still having pain... Could you try giving Andrew a call tomorrow and ask if that's within the normal range of what he'd expect? Some extractions are slower to heal than others. The symptom of dry socket is pain that isn't helped by over-the-counter painkillers, usually starting within 2 days of the extraction. The hole is probably normal, it can take up to 3 months for it to fill in. It does sound like a long time to feel pain though, so it would not hurt to phone and check, just in case!

I think and a filling ..the anxiety begins ??...was just panicking incase it was dry socket & I've done something wrong....nowing me ..but fingers crossed I haven't , I'll mention it to him ....and thanks again ....iam sure I'll be on here over the next few stressful weeks even months .....

Thanks letsconnect ? really appreciate the message ?... Tbh no haven't had any food just plenty of fluids ?.. no appetite at all .. but iam always like this .. nightmare
Think it is , maybe iam a slow healer but still a bit of a hole & sometimes a dull pain nothing serious tbh ,,but maybe it's just the site healing itself with the bone ? mystery me

But hopefully things go good tomorrow and I can get through it .. ANXIETY through the roof
