My stupid wisdom teeth have once again popped up and are bugging the absolute crap out of me.
1 is through completely and behaving nicely, the other 3 are on their own little journey of destruction, causing me immense pain on the way. I had a scan yesterday and it seems that these 3 waywards are actually growing sideways, not up as they are supposed to be doing. So the angle that they are growing on is making them slam into the other molars, trapping food under the gap and causing infections. That's where my pain is coming from, the blasted infections raging inside my mouth.
I went to the dentist yesterday and she has put me onto antibiotics and referred me through to an oral surgeon, who will rip them out and rid me of their pain forever. The a/b's should be kicking in soon, they'd better or I will be performing my own extractions. Surely ripping my own teeth out would hurt less than the constant, jaw splitting ache that I have now. Toothaches are horrendous, the pain just thuds away in your mouth constantly.
I would love to just pop a few heavy duty pain killers and go to bed to sleep them off, but no it's only panadol for this milk making mumma.
I actually had the same thing happen just after Xav was born. It was the wisdom teeth causing the trouble, but it was an infection in my back right molar causing the pain. I had the cavity removed and filled...with no needles or deadening. The dentist didn't want to use anything because I was breastfeeding, so that was interesting.
I need a sugar rush, but the only chocolate that I have in the house is frozen milky ways. I guess I could defrost and drink them?
Oh gosh, the pain is getting unbearable, even after taking panadol. I am going to break all the rules and take some nurofen, its either that or I rip the stupid thing out myself.
Wisdom sucks
