Doctor Teeth
I’ve written about tooth aches and teeth extractions and dental psychosis a lot lately. That didn’t stop me from going to the Dentist yet again today.
After a lifetime of not being able to have dental x-rays without puking all over the place, I must have set a personal record today by having a shit load of them. I lost count but it was six? Seven? Eight? Something like that. I am literally glowing in the dark right now. The poor tech kept snapping pics and I kept sitting on the very edge of yacking only to have the image not be usable so we had to take it again. That happened a lot, but the tech thought we had enough… only for the dentist to ask for two more… which became three more because one of them didn’t come out. It was simultaneously an absolute nightmare but also weirdly pleasing because we managed to take so many of them. I am serious, I had more dental x-rays today than in the rest of my life combined.
What did it amount to? Let’s put it this way… I now have a solid plan for dental work for the rest of 2026 and an outline of a plan for all of 2027.
Yeah… things are that bad. At one point the dentist said she was going to set up a consult with her implant guy. She actually used the words “implant guy” and somehow that made me happy. I’ve always assumed I had implants in my future but I never had the courage to endure the dental visits that would be needed to get that actual work done. Also, they are fucking expensive. I figured I’d get one this year then another next year and then by the time I was 70 years old I’d have a full set of teeth, or something like that. Turns out I now have a doctor who agrees with that plan.
We start implementing the new plan two weeks from today. It’s going to suck in epic fashion but hopefully the end results will be worth it. I’m sick and tired of pain and I really don’t want to lose anymore teeth. Let’s do this thing.

"The marks were unlike damage caused by carnivores, chewing activities during the life of the animals, or natural processes...Researchers believe the origin of these marks may be related to the use of teeth as soft hammers or anvils when working hard materials, such as stone tools"
Had always wondered how stone-age stone-working could sometimes be so precise and careful! eg wondrous #Orkney #petrospheres #dentalwork? -
At almost 15, Franklin Delano Roosedog has survived two major surgeries: Having ten teeth removed last week, and having a Kevlar ligament replace his torn one, some years ago. And that's why we call him our Bionic Dog. #dog #dogs #canine #canines #furbaby #furbabies #doglover #doglovers #dogphotographer #dogphotography #dogphotographers #family #familymember #ligament #ligaments #tendon #tendons #dentalwork #dentist #dentistry #operation #operations #bionic #repose #relax #relaxed.

Good morning and happy Tuesday #Fediverse
Let's discuss our day today and what the plans are.
For me, I'll be heading to the dentist to get a major cleaning done where they pull the gums from your teeth and clean deeply. Getting the right side done this time. I'll be totally numb for several hours.
Took the day off today and tomorrow for this, so not much else is planned.

Ugh. Another #crown. Another $1000. Jesus Christ. And this is not a new crown. This is to replace an older gold crown that apparently has a hole in it that has allowed decay to seep through. Fucking hell! #dentist #dentalwork

Tomorrow I'm getting a new crown put in. I counted. This makes crown #5. All molars. I had a filling that broke off in my 1st molar and because the way the filling was on the lingual side of my tooth my dentist said he couldn't fix it and would need to do a crown.
And maybe because it was my first molar and not the 2nd molars like my 4 other crowns but this one was a much rougher experience than the other four.
I should have known something was up when while my dentist was cleaning away the filling that broke off and I needed more anesthesia than normal. (I probably could have gotten away without it but my dentist prides himself on his patients not feeling any pain.)
Also, the NO2 helped.
A lot.
Love the NO2.
I digress.
So that was over a week ago. Almost 2 weeks ago now. And the first week was, to put it mildly, ***rough***.
I was in more pain in my lower jaw and he didn't even touch that!
At one point I was probably consuming 1200mg of ibuprofen & 2000mg of tylenol for a couple of days.
And for the past week I've been having to take 800mg of ibuprofen and 1000mg of tylenol (half in the morning, and half when I go to bed).
I've got a compressed disc in my back so I'm used to taking the ibuprofen/tylenol cocktail every night just so I can sleep.
But it was crazy that the pain was radiating all throughout my lower jaw and all the drilling was done on my upper molar. LOL.
Anyway, can't wait for it all to be over tomorrow.
