So last month I had to go get two temporary crowns put in. The good news is that those suckers got yanked out. Well, wait, that SHOULD have been the good part. After all, eating with temps, to be quite blunt, fucking blows goats. So the hygenist yanked one out, to which I was in quite a bit of pain. "Oh, we could get you some novacaine," she said. Well hell, you already yanked one out; why numb me now? So she attacks the other one and it comes out afte ten minutes of pulling.
Egad I was in so much pain.
So I waited with nothing but pulp in those two spots for twenty minutes while the dentist finished something up, and I got to watch the TV in the room. Wait, scratch that, I had no glasses, so I couldn't watch ANYTHING; instead I listened to Say Yes To The Dress as though it were a radio production. Holy crap, lady, your WEDDING DRESS budget is $10,000??? That's the down payment on a house!!
I was still pretty sore when the dentist finally came in, he plunked the crowns in ...
... and they feel wrong. I tell him this, and he adjusts, and I THINK it's better, they get cemented in, and then I try to eat a bowl of soup two hours later, and something definitely feels off. It COULD be simply that these crowns are nearly directly above and below one another, or I might need another adjustment. My boss has been kind enough to me about taking time for these teeth during our busy period, but we were already warned not to take time off in February.
Oy. -_- Maybe they'll feel better tomorrow?
