Just my luck

Well I was debating last night on not going to work today and I was not wanting to really call out but guess there was a reason for me not to go in, maybe because I might of had worse anxiety well I was eating ice cream last night when suddenly I hear loud crunching and mind you no crunchy stuff in my ice cream.

When I start to spit out pieces of my tooth so one of my molars completely cracked into pieces so now I am home have an appointment today to go get work done on my tooth which is annoying the hell out of me because I have a gapping hole and I can feel that twinge of pain hitting the nerve. If it’s not one thing it’s always another.

Oh no! That has happened to me, and it is scary. And painful. Good luck at the dentist.

Thanks,luckily I love my dentist just not of fan of dental work. The whole staff is super awesome they are so friendly and I called last night and left a voicemail and the medical assistant called me as soon as she opened up. She didn’t even make her cup of coffee yet they just show how important you are as a patient which is nice make me feel cared for.

Oh that has happened to me more than once and it's a horrible feeling isn't it? I would rather be at work than the dentist! That's how much I hate it. x

This is the second time it has happened 🤦🏻‍♀️ first time was way worse though. Last time it happened just before Thanksgiving I was lucky to even get an emergency appointment I believe like a day or two right after Thanksgiving.

Ha I can beat that! A few years ago I had abscess about a week before Christmas, I finally had the tooth out 2 days before. Unfortunately I got a dry socket which is when the blood clot over it doesn't form and I spent all Christmas in absolute agony. It was constant unremitting pain and no matter what I tried it didn't make any difference.

It wasn't until the first day the dentists was open again that I was able to get it seen to. It was 4/5 days of sheer agony! x

OMG 😮 yes you beat me. I’m very aware of what a dry socket is. About 2 years ago right after New Years i took 2 weeks off because I had all 4 of my wisdom teeth extracted. I used smoke then and I couldn’t because the fear of having dry socket which is way worse then the extraction. I was in agony too and lost so much weight due to the fact I couldn’t eat much food only soup and liquids but when I finally was able to eat again it was the best thing. I had to sleep on the couch for a week inclined too because of the pressure.

Your post has reminded me that I've been avoiding the dentist! Sorry for your tooth... but thanks for the reminder!
