I just returned from the dentist, where I had the dubious pleasure of getting the root that's been bothering me pulled out, and in a relatively painless way, too. It has messed up the holidays just a bit, but with any luck, it won't bother me much, once I recover from the surgery. We don't use nitrous oxide much here in Finland, so I only got ( Read more... )

   I hope all of you had a great holiday season, and I'm glad to be able to update for once...It's been a good Christmas and New Year for me, except for the slight disappointment of having gingivitis, which meant a good deal of pain, one trip to the hospital for first aid painkillers on Christmas Day, and one trip to the doctor's on Boxing Day.

Luckily, the weather hasn't been too frightfully bad, for a Finnish autumn anyway, but we're all happy to have the ( Read more... )

   Today I went to the dentist, and they told me it's not possible to do anything about that front tooth just yet, because it seems there's a festering infection at the root, and putting in a filling would only postpone the problems. They just took some x-rays and gave me another appointment. Of course I would prefer to have both my front teeth ( Read more... )
