Last week I was in terrible pain again! My mouth what am I supposed to do? Feel like all my teeth want to come out. Why? So again went to the dentist. I told the lady “I bet you see me on the schedule and think: Oh no not her again.” I chuckled. She said oh no that’s not what we think or I think. I think oh no! I hope it’s nothing serious. We chuckled about it. We have that Life 360 app where it tracks where someone goes in the car. It says that I have been to the dentist 20 times this year! Crazy!
My lower tooth was hurting really badly. I was very frustrated and cried a little because I am so frustrated with my teeth. What the hell is going on?! I saw the dentist and I thought he was going to be like I said before. “Oh no not her.” But he wasn’t like that. I don’t know why I think the worse of people. I told him which tooth hurt really badly. He said he couldn’t find anything wrong with that one. I was thinking oh no not again! Will he help me or not? Because that is how this all started my other dentist wouldn’t help me. So I found this dentist. But I was wrong which is good. He took an x-ray and showed me that nothing is wrong with the tooth but if I wanted it out, he would take it out. But he rather I kept it. Then he asked do you grind or clench your teeth at night? *Sigh* Yes I clench my teeth at night not all nights but yes some nights. He said he could tell. His plan was to keep the tooth but make adjustments so it wouldn’t hit my upper teeth. Which they grind it down a little, I have had that done before. It’s no big deal. He suggested a nightguard and I finally gave in to getting one. I thought it was going to be really expensive but no. It was only $50 dollars. Awesome!
That night after seeing the dentist a little bump came out. I freaked out a little bit because it was hard and I didn’t know what it was. Also, that’s the place it hurt before and then. Last Friday I went back and told him where the spot was. He felt and was like that’s part of you. It’s part of your jaw. Sometimes the bone will protrude out and have a bump. They are usually harmless but I can give you two options. Option one is I cut open your gums, shave off the bone, and put in some stitches that should take care of it. Option two I give you lidocaine and you put that on before every meal. Hmmm, which option do you think I choose?
Option 2! I told him that sounded scary option one. He was like really? I am like yes! So scary! I don’t want to do that. So I got my night guard. I only have seven teeth on top. I tried the over-the-counter mouth guard and I couldn’t get it molded. I am glad I went with the dentist one. Look how small it is. Lol!
It looks blue in the pic but it’s actually purple. I thought I was going to hate it but I actually like it. Now I don’t wake up with a sore jaw from clenching all night. Also, lidocaine tastes like fruit punch. LOL! It smells like fruit punch too. It’s weird. But it’s been helping with that nub in my jaw. So I hope it all gets better. I rather save teeth than take them out if possible.
I made this sweet treat wreath. It was easier than the Owl wreath. I have to say I do like the owl one better but I like this one. It had more tiny pieces with it. I like that this wreath is sparkly. I added the extra flair all around because I mean they give you extra sequins and pearls. Why not use them.
