After my discovery that my wisdom teeth had to come out NOW, and as it had been left so long (due to the lack of decent advice from other dentists) one of the teeth next to my bottom widom tooth (growing sideways) also had to come out!
Then the fun just continued as the tooth next to the extra tooth that had to come out (surgeon took one look and ripped it out while I was under) had been having problems for a while too. Again I'd asked several dentists and as it already had a filling on it they told me it was just that. But going back to my new dentist and making sure he checked he confirmed there was a BIG hole in the root of my tooth.
So yesterday I had a fun time with him drilling my old filling off and getting right down into the root of the tooth to get rid of the decay. After about 30 mins of drilling he pulled out a laser to slice through the gum, never knew they could do that..... Love the smell of burning gum flesh, especially when it's mine. Good job I was all numbed up :)
Then he re-built the tooth with about 5 types of filling stuff and we just have to wait and see if thaty fixes it, or it's going to come out too. Really don't want to lose that tooth being on the same side as the others.... And officially had enough of the dentists this year.
If you as Kath she'll probably say it's karma from all the years that she had fillings and I didn't ;o)
