Hi Everyone,
I posted here yesterday about my chipped tooth and the toothache that started on the tooth next to it on Christmas day and how the dentist I had scheduled originally could only take me on the 20th. So I called around this morning and found a dental office that could take me tomorrow morning. The dental office got very good reviews although the dentist I'll be seeing got one bad review (but it was 3 years ago and I'm willing to see him to see what he has to say).
It's the first time I've seen a dentist in 10 years (and the last time was only for a small filling) so I am super nervous. The fact that I have to take a taxi there (no car and no one here who can drive me) is no help, especially since I live in Texas and we had a blizzard here this weekend and no cab company is answering because the roads have been declared in hazardous condition. The sun is shining and the sky is blue so I'm hoping that the hazardous conditions will be lifted later today and I can call and order a cab for tomorrow morning. If not, I'll have no choice but to reschedule the appointment (the woman did say that there may be some spaces open on Wednesday later in the day).
One thing that is really weird is that this morning, my tooth ached when I brushed my teeth and did my salt water/ACV rinse (not excruciating, more of a throb) but then it started not to hurt at all, not even when I bit down on it. I took 2 Advil about an hour ago and now it's not hurting at all, not even when I bite down. I'm wondering if the blizzard we had and the sinus trouble I've been having since earlier this week were the reason for the toothache and it's not going to be as bad as I thought. I'm still going to get the teeth looked at this week if I can, as I know I need to take care of all that.
I am so nervous!!!
