So I've been in pain for two weeks, right side of my face swelled a bit. Went to the doctor, looked at ear and mandible joint, they were fine. Gave me a pain killer, got me an ultrasound and xrays since I was in agony the one day. Pain killers helped. Doctor says ultra sound shows swelling in the lymph node, xrays show nothing. No TMJ. Made an appointment with my dentist, they got me in the next day. Xrays reveal a huge cavity in my bottom right wisdom tooth, but the tooth is also fractured and when the gum got irritated and swelled it grew over the tooth. Anyways, it's being extracted on Tuesday morning. I've never had a tooth extracted, and being an anxious person, I'm kinda nervous. Everyone including the dentist says it's a simple procedure. I think i'm more nervous about the pain when the freezing wears off and the recovery. No idea if i'm getting stitches or what. Dentist said so you're in a bit of pain, a dull ache eh? Well most people would be curled up in bed being non functional with the pain you should be feeling. I said well i guess the pain killers are working.
So Tuesday should be fun.....or not. But got my teeth cleaned and away we go.
