My Weekend... a report by USF Sam

Uggghhhhhh..... Sorry about your experience, Sam. Sure hope you heal super fast.

I just went through a similar procedure at the dentist not too long ago .... did not involve gas though. That stuff scares me.

..... but I ended up with a dry socket. Horribly painful experience to say the least. I wouldn't wish that on anyone.

Best not to rush things. You definitely don't want the clot that formed to come loose or out.

*That* I didn't know. But I did know it was poosible to bleed from waxing. I'd imagine moreso from coarser hair.

While were veering off topic, now, I just had my bi monthly girl grooming from Mr. Tony and either he's on the rag or I'm just a little sensitive this time. I can't walk and can barley sit down. I need some of Sam's viccies, thank you very much. :D

Sam? I'm so sorry about your bad incident with your tooth. :(

I had a tooth shatter once during a root canal and once that happened, they gassed me so good, I landed on the moon, while they cleaned the wound. I swear it was days before I noticed I was missing something in the back of my jaw. :D
 
Sorry Sam... it sounds like you are in need of a hug...

A couple years ago...I went to my dentist on the Friday before Thanksgiving.. neither he nor I even noticed what day it was... he removed 5 teeth ( 4 of them.. wisdom) with just the needles... I spent Thanksgiving weekend drinking water and chewing T3's... I looked like a chipmunk.... On Tuesday morning he phoned me to apologize about taking the teeth out before the holiday weekend...

Ahem...

*fidget fidget tug collar*

Well, I went to the dentist on Thursday for what I thought was a missing filling. I expected to get a root canal.

My appt was for 3:30... mistake Number 1. NEVER make an appointment for the end of the day.

They took an x-ray and decided that the tooth was too far gone and had to be extracted. :(

I told them "Gas. I want gas." The dentist was like "It won't hurt, just a little tug."
"GAS".
"OK... nurse, hook him up."

They put me on the gas and 30 SECONDS later the dentist comes over and says "Open up". I figure he's just looking... but NNOOOOO....!! Needle into my gum, followed by two more! WTF!! That's what the gas was for, so I wouldn't FEEL the damn needle!

So I sit there and after 5 mins I'm like.. "Umm.. I don't feel nothing". The nurse looks down and says "Oh, it's on low... hang on." and cranks it up.

3 minutes later and I'm flying. Nitrous is a GREAT high. I just get to my happy place and he comes over and RIP RIP PULL PULL YANK... it's out.

2 minutes later I realize I'm not high anymore... "Am I on oxygen now?" "Yeah, it's almost closing time." :(

So, I stumble out the door with a mouth full of guaze, no stitches and a perscription for Vicodin and a warning not to eat solids for "a while".

Fri thru Sun = suck.

This ends my report on my weekend. Thank you.

I am laughing my ass off right now. But yeah the dentists always suck.

I've had two teeth pulled in my lifetime. No gas, just local anesthetic. Didn't do drugs after. Went to work a couple hours later both times. I don't see what the big deal is. :dunno

Mayhap you missed the entire "Women are tougher than us men" discussion. :surrender

Seriously, if I had it yanked a week or two earlier I would probably have been in better shape, but as it is it's swollen and inflamed. :(
