My gums are still chewed up and my jaw aches from having to hold my mouth open for two hours!Took them three tries to get a good enough impression for the new crown. When I got home I just wanted to sleep. I'm sure I'll feel better tomorrow.Karen Hatzigeorgiouhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13472285234755459171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1124643846551077932005-08-21T13:04:00.000-04:002005-08-21T13:04:00.000-04:00My worst anxiety is dentist appointments. When I ...My worst anxiety is dentist appointments. When I was a child we didn't have money for dentists, so the few appointments I had were for serious problems, which caused my current anxiety. I have had 3 or 4 root canals in the past 15 years. So far my gums are holding out, but not in great shape. I need crowns, but they are too expensive here (about $1000 each).another lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09775244053121117432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8439435.post-1124185786432756652005-08-16T05:49:00.000-04:002005-08-16T05:49:00.000-04:00Assalaamu alaikum,Sorry you had to go through that...Assalaamu alaikum,<BR/><BR/>Sorry you had to go through that - and thanks a lot for telling me, lol! I have an appointment for this at the end of the month, and didn't know what to expect - although I normally don't mind the dentist. I used to take good care of my teeth, but for ten years I neglected them... I would break a tooth, but be pregnant and/or breastfeeding, and think that I didn't have time to go, and didn't want the x-rays and medications, so I would wait. I'm embarassed to say that this summer, I've had three root canals, and have this appointment for gum surgery on one and then a crown. Alhamdulillah it's free, though, and there are a lot of good women dentists working at the government clinics. I'm happy to be finally taking care of it.Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17645722685033366631noreply@blogger.com
