I really used to think that I'm one of those people who love to take good care of their pearly whites. The regular brushing, low to no sweets almost, always rinsing after a meal, and what not.
Yet, here I am with an extremely annoying tooth ache. Sometimes it can get quite painful too, some of these meds that I'm taking surely are helping though. But these meds aren't cheap, not when you compare them to the available and much "regular" meds.
It's been a few months since I've noticed a bit of "rot" building up on one my premolars, and I've even visited my dentist, who is also my uncle. He said there was not much to worry about, and just to get a dental x-ray for now and then to keep him updated.
A few months have passed by, and I still haven't managed to get that x-ray done lol. Just recently though, my rotten little tooth faced a little fracture on one side, I don't know why, I don't how.
I really don't remember getting slapped or punched on the right side of my face, not even on the left side. Yet, the fracture is quite visible from the side, and that is what's been causing all that excruciating pain that I've been facing for a while now. The surroundings of that tooth has swelled up by quite a bit, all inflamed and "carmine", from what looks to be just a harmless little fracture. All the pain that little "dent" is causing surely doesn't make any sense, it has quite successfully managed to make the right side of my face numb for about 2 days.
Thankfully, once again, those meds came to the rescue once more. After taking those meds for three days straight, I've been feeling WAY better. Trust me, I wanted to curse the shit out of everything on this post, but since all the pain is now a thing of the past, I guess it's not possible for me to rage or cuss around right now. It just wouldn't be natural, and I'd say I am quite the "natural" when it comes to raging and spitting a bit of "poetic justice". For now, let's keep this one somewhat clean, maybe on the next one I'll let out my much rageful side, and my rage filled ways of speaking/writing haha.
Right now I really should be focusing on getting that x-ray done, and maybe get this tooth capped or just pulled the hell out. Just thinking about that process gives me nightmares. Yes, yes, dentistry has advanced ahead, lots of handy tools, a lot of anesthesia is used, this and that, but I'm just worried about the after-effect really.
Also, a part of keeps on repeating "what if the dentists f**ks it up" hahaha.
I guess we'll just have to wait and see. It's surely not a day and experience that I'm looking forward to, but we really can't keep that tooth "hanging" around.
