Re: New, worried, some questions, wanted to share my experience..Sorry bit long!
Thanks fraidy and oliviacs!!
Ah first extraction done!
Didn't do too well today, could hardly breath walking to the surgery when I got there he was running late which gave me time to freak out some more. Started to cry as soon as I went in his room but he was very reassuring and sat down and talked to me for a bit. The injections were more difficult, cos its so far back I guess but still they were just twinges. He started on the fillings first but I had to have more injections cos I could feel it. Then, he gets this thing and says I'm just going to feel about THEN only starts to take the tooth out!!! I was stamping my feet on the chair cos I was angry he hadn't warned me! Anyway told me to rinse and I was shocked because there was blood there. He had already taken part of it out and I didn't even know! What a b****r he is! Haha! I don't really mind cos I think he knows that just doing it is probably easier for me cos it doesn't give me chance to freak. He found out I had an abcess under there he hadn't realised about, so he doesn't want me to put gauze on as he wants the pus to drain....nice huh! I am still soooo numb I really hate it! Have taken a couple of painkillers just in case it hurts as it wears off.
So now I start my recovery and fingers crossed it will heal ok. I have the last (apart from hygeinist) appointment of my treatment plan in around 6 weeks, gosh I really can't believe that! So far have kept off the cigs too, am getting the odd pang but I think it would actually be too hard to smoke with my mouth being soooo numb!
Thanks guys for all your support, it really does make a difference!
