so you would think that the raisin, the nice soft chewy raisin would be a safe thing to eat, right?
well, no. wednesday afternoon, i'm having a snack of raisin. i'm chewing away and BAM one of those little stems they sometimes have is in there and i chomp down. man, i don't know where exactly it went but ouch it hurt. then since wed. the pain has gotten worse. crap. i really don't want to go to the dentist again.
so lots and lots of vitamin C. i figure that i traumatized the poor tooth, and it's nerves are all inflamed. i mean, i had a root canal on that tooth, so there's no nerve in it to begin with, so that's not what is hurting. maybe the gums? anyway, lots and lots of vitamin C. gargling with warm salt water and cayenne tincture to heal it. it's better this morning, so that makes me happy :)
