Dental Problems

Hrm...I have had cavaties and had my wisdom teeth pulled.

For wisdom teeth, I got out lucky. I went in with my bro (who was also having his teeth pulled) at around nine. I then laid on the table, and after they finally had me lie correctly (that being totally on the chair), they gave me some gas, said for me to count, and before ya knew it, i was out.

I was asleep as they worked on my mouth, and when I woke up, I was outside with my parents. My first instinct was to get up, in which both my 'rents and the nurses stopped me as I would have fallen flat on my face (not recovered from the gas). Apparently, although I don't remember this AT ALL, my 'rents also said that before that time I tried to help my dad with his crossword puzzle among a few other things.

I then went home, went to bed, and slept it all off. OF course, I had cotton in my mouth (as while I had stitches in my mouth, it would still take time for it to properly heal). By that evening, I was pretty much good. Still couldn't eat much of anything save for Jello, but I was in good shape. Three or four days later, I couldn't take it anymore, caled the dentist and got their OK to go back to solid foods.

My brother didn't get so lucky. For whatever reason, the bleeding didn't stop. So, they literally had to go back at like 2 in the morning and put new stitches in or something like that. DOn't worry about that though...my dentist said he had not seen something like that in ten years.

As for cavaties...I had...seven...at once. All due to not flossing (so floss people!). It wasn't that big of a deal. You come in, they put a very thin needle in to numb your mouth, and then they go one too after another. The basically drill out the cavity, then put the filling in, and then harden it. The WORST is not the procedure, but the actual expense (250 U.S.D., OUCH). you are fine to eat and drink later that day, although you have to wait off your mouth from being numb (as you can't really move it much).
