… good gods it was a harrowing experience having all my top teeth capped up in permanents all in one sitting with no druuuuges. Don’t get me wrong, the dentist lady and all the people there absolutely rock it. Hardcore.

Anyway… there was one permanent that would NOT come off. They pulled and pulled and it hurt like, you know, someone was trying to pull your tooth out (I DO have -all- of my teeth on top, they just all needed cap/crown thingies, some root canals also). they eventually had to CUT THE DAMN THING OFF! *twitch*

Thankfully she numbed the area up before cutting on the temp. It was pretty sore (and continues to hurt now, after the stuff wore off). But holy shit… she is very good with her needles. I only felt one little tiny prick (you know, like how they say in the movies) and it actually numbed that spot up like it was supposed to. That stuff NEVER worked very well when I was little O.o

You’d think this would put my mind at ease. But I lived with those temps falling out so often for so long that I just can’t trust these yet. I’ll trust them when I can chew on Butterfinger rocks without even a little wiggle. That and they had to adjust my bite with some cement gunky stuff all over my lower teeth. This… is uncomfortable. Because I have to eat with that stuff and… gah. Its like the equivalent of having perms it. They might just randomly fall off, too. I lost one piece before >.<

There is only one thing that went wrong. Possibly 2. 3 if you count the temp that wouldn’t come off.

The first is… one of the permanent crowns wasn’t fitting like how Dr M wanted it to fit so she’s sending it back to the lab type people for adjustment. Not such a big deal.

What IS a big deal however, is I either have a broken tooth on the bottom right side or its a broken piece of that gunky cement stuff. At first I thought it was tooth when I looked in the mirror. Then I was like… “No way, that doesn’t make sense”. But I didn’t remember them ever putting that stuff on that tooth. Of course that doesn’t mean anything.

I do recall when I was supposed to bite down on some stuff to help seat the back couple permanent crowns, I felt a crunch back there. I didn’t think too much of it because those crown things sort of do that sometimes. But thinking about it now… that “broken tooth” on the bottom -also- crunched. I think O.o Which would explain why that piece of whatever is sort of wiggling and sort of pinching some gum and has a very visible crack near the gum line and why it bled a bit after I poked and investigated it.

So I’ll prolly call the dentist here in an hour or two. Or get Whitepaws to do it ’cause I hate the phone and I don’t like the idea of talking right now with that going on in there. Yes, I’m overly paranoid :-(

I’ve been so paranoid I haven’t gone to bed. I don’t want to… don’t make me go to bed. Or eat. :-(
