Evil dentist

[sad_eyes]

How often do you go to the dentist? Well, I finally went to the dentist today. Now, I know this is going to sound disgusting but I havent been to the dentist since I was 15, like 8 years. I just didnt think it was nessicary as my teeth look as if they are in good condition. BIG MISTAKE. I now have an appointment to go to Edmonton next month to have surgery. One of the reasons is that my wisdom teeth have grown straight across instead of up and down. And the second is that I have some kind of disease that is eating away my jaw bone. Who would have thought? My teeth look fine. But I guess that explains the pain in my jaw. I am scared. They say the slightest amount of weight (like a punch) to my jaw and it could basically shatter. ....................................

Re: Evil dentist

TMJ? Two of my friends have that. One wore a retainer (I don't know if she still does) and the other has tenitis, which may be a result of TMJ. The surgery will cure you of TMJ, though, right? Reverse the affects? I know it's expensive, but, it's for the rest of your life...

As for the wisdom teeth extraction; bah. Should be fine (of course, I had mine done when I was...14, and not all of them had impacted yet). They put you under, 10 minutes, the rest of the day is shot to hell, but, no worries.

Re: Evil dentist

Sorry Rachel.
How will this surgery help with this disease? The wisdom teeth shouldn't be much of an issue. Impacted wisdom teeth are pretty common and unless it's complicated by the jaw problem, I don't think it'd be too bad.

Quarteria - this doesn't sound like a TMJ problem.

Re: Evil dentist

Better late than never, it's also a good for idea for everyone to use a mouthwash after you brush. That helps significantly...

Re: Evil dentist

Sad, hope you feel better soon and the surgery goes well

There is no wisdom with wisdom teeth.

All dentists are evil. Have you seen the musical version of 'Little Shop of Horrors', Rachel?
