First of, thank you to anyone willing to help. I'm petrified. I am 26 year old female and u have been petrified of the dentist for as long as I can remember. I had decent teeth until about 18. I got into drugs and I am now on a dose of liquid methadone everyday. I also have an extremely weak stomach and I threw up for 9 months with all three of my children and I'm not exaggerating when I say everyday, all pregnancies. For about three years now, my teeth started chipping away. I went to a dentist a few months ago and he said I need a full mouth extraction. However, I work with the public and it's really hard to take off three weeks til I get dentures. Here's my.problem, three nights ago, I work up and my front, upper gum and lip feels like it's the after effects of novacaine. My four front teeth are all cracked and broken. My upper gum is slightly swollen and kind of itchy. I woke up yesterday and my upper lip and nose was so swollen, it looked like I got punched. I took an antibiotic last night. I have never had this before, swollen gums, abscesses, or anything. I only ever had tooth aches. But, part of my feels like this isn't related to my teeth cause my front teeth don't really hurt. It's only my upper gum, where that flap of skin is. But why does it feel kind of itchy, numb and tingly. Someone please help!
