ugh. Teeth suck

[lyssie]

I had my fourth (third tooth) root canal today. It was actually pretty painless, bar the bits where the nerve wouldn't diiiie. But now my face is half-numb, and I am sort of frightened about when it stops being numb. I did take ibuprofen, though. So I should be good.

(Good thing I did, though, doc said it was dead and would have eventually led to infection and abscesses. ugh. Glad I avoided that)

Oooh *careful petting* That sucks, hon. I hope the recovery is quick and easy.

*hugs* Thank you. It's... well, it's mostly all right, I'm just trying not to chew on hard things yet.

Here's hoping for as little suffering as humanly possible. *snugs*

My mother is having a HELL of a time with an abscess that won't go the fuck away lately. She's on her third round of antibiotics.

Augh. That is the sort of thing I've had nightmares about. *sends good thoughts, etc.*

do they know what's causing it? Not to get too graphic, but they might need to just rip the thing out completely. :/

It's in a really old root canal that was done long, long ago. Theoretically there shouldn't be any reason for there to be an infection in there, but she keeps getting them anyway. They may need to redo it :/

Ugh. Sounds like they might have missed one of the roots when they did it. That's what caused the other one I had to be so ridiculous.

Really? Wow.
