So, today I went to the dentist and got my top two wisdom teeth pulled and a filling done. Not exactly my idea of a fabulous day, but not as bad as I was expecting either. I thought the worst part was going to be the shots because of my insanely pervasive fear of needles, but turns out the sound of pulling teeth out was the worst thing imaginable-ever. Period. I would rather have Max again, and again, and again than have to listen to that sound all day. I actually asked the dentist how he could do it. Not missing a beat, he said it was still better than being a proctologist :)
This afternoon wasn't bad, and I even hung out with some friends this evening, However, tonight I'm really starting to feel it. I never got the expression "even my teeth hurt" but today I'm getting the gist that having your teeth hurt means a serious amount of discomfort. My jaw aches if I even think about moving it.
I wouldn't complain, however, if I thought this was the end of it. Nothing that happened today was really that bad. But, my x-rays showed that my bottom two wisdom teeth came in sideways. Like, completely sideways, at 90-degree angles. I'm going to have to see an oral surgeon and get them extracted sometime in the near future under sedation. Oh joy. Now there's something to look forward to.
Here's to a better day tomorrow, because it would be hard for it to get much worse!
Sedation is what I get to experience on Monday for mine. That's odd that they are sideways. My older sister's top one was completely upside down and growing towards her nasal passage. What is with you weird people :) Glad it wasn't as bad as you thought!
