Well, ow, that can't be good....
So. Recently I have been having a problem with my jaw aching and not being able to open my mouth wide to bite food, brush my teeth in the back, and yawn.. which sucks because I like to yawn. Anyway. So the doc my mom works for says it's probably from clenching/grinding my teeth while I sleep. Meaning I'm frustrated over something. So I have to figure it out and un-frustrate myself. But until then she said to get a mouth guard thing and try and use it and see if it helps, and if not then I need to see a dentist because it may be my not so wise teeth... grr.
Anyway, so after being in so much pain to tears yesterday I went to Walmart and got a mouth guard. I came home and fitted it and everything, I even had to cut it down some so it wouldn't choke me in the back and hurt. Anyway. So last night I wore it, and it sucked. for many reasons. Major being I drooled.. like lots. Next being I sounded like a moron. Also, it felt funny and I had to figure out how to breathe again. But.. this morning jaw didn't hurt so much. It does now though. But I am not wearing the mouth guard tonight! Oh no.
Why? When I went to the bathroom earlier I happened to notice my mouth, in particular, my gums. The fucking thing somehow irritated/cut them or something and now I have little damn bloody triangles inbetween each tooth. I want to cry.
