So, many years ago this forum helped me get through abscesses, extractions, fillings and my fear of the dentist.
Yesterday I had to have an extraction after having in infection under a RCT tooth. I was utterly petrified, it wasn't my regular dentist i was seeing so that scared me, it had been many years since I'd had to have any dental work so that added to my fear.
Anyway, yesterday morning I had my lower pre molar extracted. I cried like a baby going in and was shaking like a leaf when it was done.
It's now been a little over 27hours. I have not had anything other than paracetamol and ibuprofen yesterday for the pain. Today I'm very sore and have started to saltwater rinse.
I haven't had a vape in over 24 hours and I'm getting to the point where I fear I am going to cave in and have one. I'm also desperate for a glass of wine! This started right on Christmas so I haven't had much fun over the festive season!
However! I am terrified of getting a dry socket and that is the only thing putting me off having a vape and a glass of wine!
