Hello there!

Oct 16, 2009 15:42

It's time for another installment in the "please don't do this at home" ongoing story that is my life: bite off a perfectly healthy part of a tooth. Went to the dentist's 4½ hours ago and the anaesthesia hasn't gone completely yet. Still have eaten some soft things though, as I kind of didn't have time for breakfast before I left (opted for sleep ( Read more... )

ineptitude, rl, brainy stuff

Eek! That's -- ow. I'm shuddering just thinking about it, being the dentist-phobe that I am.

Hee. Aww. Poor thing, it wasn't as bad as all that, Mark. But thanks! :-)

Don't look now, but a course mate of mine had 2-3? unfinished wisdom teeth pulled earlier this month, so I think I'm very, very lucky. Also, I've only had one previous hole in my grown-up teeth.

I had all sorts of dental problems. Brrrrr..... childhood didn't go well for me. I also very vividly remember the wisdom teeth removal -- well, they put me out for it, but I remember the aftereffects.

Hahaha, spoke too soon; had pressure headache migrating round my skull.

Ah. I was lucky in that we were given flouride tablets in school and also that I haven't binged on candy all that often (mostly due to my high cholesterol, so it's not as if my character is all that strong). Also, while my teeth aren't all that straight, they're not crooked enough to warrant loads of dental work. And, my wisdom teeth are hurting just thinking about any removal. Though, not sure teeth can think, as such. ;-)

Ouch. :-(

We lived out in the country, so I didn't get exposed to much flouridation -- I had no idea tablets were ever given out. Also, I had an insensitivity to novocaine, and the dentist refused to believe that; he thought I was just "being a baby". So I went through a lot of pain *and* self-doubt as a kid. Thank goodness my present dentist is so much better with people than that old sadist from my youth.

Hi, saw I hasn't replied to this; have been a bit absent lately. Sorry.

Mmm, and now I have a head cold. Yay?

Ah. Well, to be honest, I have no clue whether flouride tablets were given in other countries than my own. But, ouch.

ozma914 October 30 2009, 10:45:21 UTC

That's all right -- I *should* be absent, with everything going on in my life. Ouch is right!

Sorry about the head cold ... the only consolation is that you're in company with a whole lot of other people, which isn't much consolation at all.

Cannot type or read properly at the moment. Makes writing an assignment a bit hard. Sigh. Have been really busy. And for you, do what you feel like. But don't feel obligated to hang around LJ.

Heh. Thanks. And no, not that much. ;-)

ozma914 October 31 2009, 04:56:52 UTC

Well, I feel like hanging around LJ, but it doesn't get me published!

meko00 November 4 2009, 20:29:22 UTC

Heh. Well, you could always follow the examples of those trying to get people to pay for fanfic. ;-)

ozma914 November 5 2009, 06:30:49 UTC

Yeah -- *that's* not gonna happen. Just my luck, I'd be the first one the suits decided to make an example of!
