it was like torture to be on that dentists chair. My second molar on my upper left side has been hurting and i know it has cavities so i went to the dentist to have it checked and yes there is nothing else to do but have it removed. Normally i would go there with my husband as i am freakin scared of injections lol not the entire extraction thing but the injections. But i was brave lol since hubby was at work i could not disturb him, so i went there an d bravely sit on the chair trying to act brave lol and had it removed. i still hate the injection part and i know i squirmed like a kid back there. Maybe the dentist was trying hard not to laugh lol... but i was looking at the whole process as he gave me a mirror to look at and it was that painful as the roots were deeply rooted and he explained to me why it was hurting more. He said my third molar did not came out normally and is trying to get out and was pushing that second molar and it hurt more because of that. i know my teeth were not growing that normally because as i kid a could remember going back and forth to the dentist with my mom... So anyways all is done now, i am pretty much sore. i would love to rest but i only asked for a half day of rest so i am still back at work, trying to not work that much as it is still bleeding a little bit now. oh well it hurts and i just had some pain killers and a medicine to stop the bleeding. and oh, i asked for the tooth! i showed it to the kids so they will know that they need to brush ALWAYS and eat less junk like i used to when i was a kid. hahaha. so there, i have the tooth with me now, i wonder what i will do with it?

Ouch- hehehe. No, I am not afraid of injections anymore, but before yes I do - hahahaa. I remember my youngest son hiding behind my back when it is his time to sit on the dentist chair. He is too afraid that me and his older brother had to locked him on that chair Goodness I can't forget that day...

I'll have mine pulled out this Friday. I'm the most scared person in the whole universe when it comes to tooth extraction, but I need to do this. Both of my 2 molars are impacted. They need to be pulled out ASAP. PRAY FOR ME, please.

You are that creative mother - you have a way of teaching your kids. Especially they are the curious ones - "to see is to believe". You are not alone on doing that. I'm, for one, treating those odd things as a remembrance. Something that reminds me of my past. I even have my gallstones placed on a small vial. Weird.
