the dentist
i went to the dentist this morning and he said i've sprained a ligament in my tooth. get out!!!!!!! i do not lie, this is what he said. it could have been the helga's pitta chips i was eating boxes of a month or so ago. they are like rocks. he ground down the tooth below it to give it some room and relieve the pressure. he also took an xray and will ring if there's anything urgent. otherwise he wants to see me in january. you won't believe this, or maybe you will, but the tooth on the other side down the bottom hurts now. ahhhhhhhhhhhh

ReplyDeleteYou have more courage then me Fran as I still won`t see a dentist....Yes i`m a chicken....
one of our staff says that if we learn something new that day we can go home. i didn't know wtf it was so i looked it up. seems there is indeed a ligament that holds the tooth in place. so now we can both go home. this is what i found on google:
ReplyDeleteThe periodontal ligament, commonly abbreviated as the PDL is a group of specialized connective tissue fibers that essentially attach a tooth to the alveolar bone within which it sits. These fibers help the tooth withstand the naturally substantial compressive forces which occur during chewing and remain embedded in the bone.
Ouch!
ReplyDeleteI hope relief is on the way....
Never heard of that before...Is it listed in his charge list...you know filling = trillion dollars, extraction = billion dollars and a strained tooth ligiment = ??
ReplyDeleteTooth pain is the worst along with the pain in the pocket after the tooth pain is fixed..
