I couldn't wait for this Friday for additional teeth scan cause, my jaw was hurting me and yes, i went to a private dentist again. i should save, i know but health should also come first for me; when my social dentist didn't care, i have to care.
It was my first time there. i sent them an email and hoped they said i could come yesterday but they said today, which was okay for me. and they took a new scan, weren't sure but treated one tooth, another dentist came and the first one returned and said we should extract that tooth.
i've been hearing that, about that tooth for a whole year but i didn't want to believe it but when 4 dentists confirm something, then i felt i had to say yes even inside, i didn't want to. so, i have one tooth less and it's my upper left 6. on tuesday, they are cleaning root canal for my left upper 7 and i hope that's it.
i know the same conclusion could be with my social dentist but calling her again, waiting when the queen will receive me, it would take ages. this was done maybe too quickly but, it's done. i also said i don't want to have a hole but it takes time for healing, i guess but they will put something there.
on the right side, one social dentist, drilled one tooth all the time and my tooth just fell so i have a hole on my right side for a couple of years. it is right upper 5 so,i am not entirely happy with this new extracting.
you can't see 6 when you laugh but, yeah.
i'm also drinking antibiotics. In times like this, i wish someone from my family could reach out to me but, i said what i wanted and they didn't agree with my conditions so, yeah.
what an afternoon, mylotters. i hope this was the one tooth that bugged me.no more extracting for me,please.

@valherma00 antidepressants do have an affect on our teeth, that is for sure, but could it also be genetics? You obviously did everything you could.

@AmbiePam could be.i think my parents also had this kind of issues in their 30s but they just mentioned that now and then,didn't emphasize it (i wish they did), so i naturally thought it would skip me.thank you.i really tried.i also fear, cause i didn't straighten up some teeth, so that's why i also struggled.ah.it's too late now.youth,come back

it was one tooth but, yeah, it was too much. one minute, we are checking your root canals and other, it is ni a bad shape, we have to remove it. i just hope i'm at peace now.and i still kind of regret extracting it.

I hope this is the end of it. Are you taking calcium? That is very good for teeth.

me too, snowy. the dentist said it was in a really bad shape but he also said that he hopes to save upper left 7 and he thinks that's the all problems i have. i hate when they say they think but the scan didn't tell them much. for 6 months i waited for new crowns, had inflammation and was insured that it all will be good with new teeth crowns at my old private dentist's place. but, 3 months after, another inflammation and under my eye which scared me.
i'm taking vitamin d and iron+vitamin c and magnesium with vitamin b. but i'll get some calcium too. thank you. i hope i won't regret this

@valherma00 When a tooth is removed the hole in your mouth seems huge until you get used to it.

i didn't expect that in just one meeting. i also kind of regret for saying yes, for maybe rushing but i had 2 inflammations, it needed to be done and, thank you, i hope it will heal fast (it's strange momentarily) and that i will be at peace for now. o, you've been through that too;then you understand everything. hats off.

@JudyEv yes, you are right. i forgot how it felt before but i probably need a tooth bridge on each side now, which will be expensive, i feel.

@valherma00 it’s pulled out so I think it will no longer cause pain for you. You’re welcome and have a nice Saturday.

it was only one tooth. the other, it fell on its own, 6 years ago, i think. and this tooth wouldn't go easily like it was sending me a sign and one part of time regrets for not saying no but i wanted to be at peace and not to worry about another inflammation. i hope this wasn't in vain. thank you, i hope so too. it's been a hard week.
