Warning: Grossness Inside

Tweet

Hey all! How are you? Right now it is nearing the end of Wednesday night, and I'm about to hit hot bath therapy then bed but...... I left work today around 2:30 for a dentist appointment. I've had grossness leaking into my mouth since March 24th, from an abcess, and finally got to go in to have it looked for. I expected him to take x-rays, and give me antibiotics and tell me to come back. He took x-rays and said, "Well, that has to come out." It was infected AND cracked all the way down the root. So I ended up having a tooth pulled today. It surprised me because I didn't think they would pull a tooth if it was infected. The tooth itself came out easy, then when he squeezed the infection out afterwards that was SOOOO gross. I could feel the fluids over the back of my tounge and taste it. It was awful. He swabed and suctioned it all up, but still... I'm sad I lost the last molar on that side, but happy to have the infection gone. I'll start my antibiotics tomorrow when hubby picks them up, and I hope to avoid any more dental issues for a while, please and thank you!
