Dentist
To avoid boring anyone my dentist ramble will be under a cut. Let me just say that I should be feeling better within the next couple of weeks.
Well I went to the dentist this morning and was only there for a half an hour. X-ray's were taken of my teeth that have been hurting, the dentist looked at them, and the results are...I have an infection in my gums between those teeth. Considering I was worried about something being cracked or having a cavity this was better news than I was expecting. I have an appointment on Wednesday to go in for a cleaning to help clear things up and I have some pricey tooth paste/mouth wash kit to use at home in place of my normal tooth paste and a new tooth brush as a bonus from my dentist office. Today visit didn't cost as much as I was worried about...we'll see how I feel after the appointment next week since I'm sure it will be a big difference from today.
The other thing my dentist said he's concern about is it looks like I'm grinding my teeth at night cause I'm wearing down the enamel - joy. I know this is from genetics but I'm really hoping I won't get told I have to start wearing a teeth guard at night. I have enough problems sleeping at night with my allergies let alone with a hunk of plastic in my mouth :P
Finally he's worried about my bite, apparently my bite changes constantly so he tried doing an alignment adjustment on my jaw. Which was...interesting. I was worried I'd be sore later but so far so good, it just felt weird. I had all these flashes of horror movies with jaws getting broken, ripped off, or zombies with them dislocated. Great things to think when your dentist is holding the top of your skull and pressing on your jaw the opposite way and asking you to bite huh? XD
But yeah, so those were the results. I know now it's good I went, considering the infection isn't bad enough I was given an antibiotic script but could have gone that way if I ignored it more. But in another way I'm a little blah with knowing I have to go back next week and have a paragraph of directions to follow with this new tooth paste. Most the time I'm not that alert in the morning when I go to brush my teeth, this will be interesting. At least I survived and I'm really happy that I don't have to have any drilling done.
And can I just say yay that tomorrow is Friday? Especially when I don't work this weekend and can actually have a weekend :D Granted I work next weekend...but I can get meepy about that when I get to it. Just have to keep reminding myself that in 3 weeks I'll be attending an anime con with other anime geeks ;)
