I’m sorry for not updating as often as I should. The past two weeks were hell for me. Teeth pain is worse than giving birth I swear. I have been on painkillers for most part of the two weeks and I’ve come to certain realizations:
1. Ponstan is better than Dolfenal. Promise.
2. Teeth pain can turn you into a monster.
I have been very very irritable, more than when I was pregnant! The kids know better than to order me around with pleas for “Mommy, will you cook pancit canton?” at 8PM because the pain worsens at night. By 6PM I’m already in bed, drugged with pain relievers.
I went to the dentist yesterday and it was both good news and bad news. Good news: My wisdom teeth have finally erupted to taking them out would cost me the normal extraction for molars. Yey! Bad news: The dentist suspects the real pain is coming from my upper molar which has a filling. It has chipped off somewhat and when she percusses it, it is painful. The solution would be a root canal – which is of course, more expensive than extracting wisdom teeth, impacted or not. However, I’d be more willing to come back every other day (She said with root canals, they need to drain the abscess so every other day is the appointment) than to have this one taken out – I’d still like a good set of teeth until I turn 40 (if I can swing it until I am 50, that would be awesome!) thank you very much.
So next week will be all about dental appointments. I’m on antibiotics now – so Tuesday or Wednesday I go for a temporary filling, Friday or Saturday with the meds kicking in, I can actually get these wisdom teeth from hell removed.
