I had told him everything 2 minutes before, he just loses everything in his head. <br /><br />Thanks for visiting Sherry.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476943539943172099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20006571.post-2656155063947250572010-02-16T10:55:07.353+09:002010-02-16T10:55:07.353+09:00Sorry to hear about the travel arrangement trouble...Sorry to hear about the travel arrangement troubles with the hubs. They never listen do they? NEVER. <br /><br />Also very sorry to hear about the teeth trouble. I luckily, to date, have never had wisdom teeth trouble. I, as one charmer of a dentist once told me, "have a really big mouth, enough room for a whole second set of wisdom teeth!" What a shocker, huh?Sherryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08050270762088395325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20006571.post-49586617383501520542010-02-16T10:39:38.911+09:002010-02-16T10:39:38.911+09:00Thanks Girl Japan!

The problem with this particular tooth is that it is still under the gum and is sideways. He took an x-ray yesterday and said that it'll be difficult to take out because of the way the roots of the tooth are. <br /><br />I had been told years ago in Canada that I'd need to see an oral surgeon for the job, but this guy has been bugging me for years to get my wisdom teeth out. <br /><br />At the moment all we have to do is make an appointment to see the surgeon at the hospital. Hopefully it won't be too difficult of a job. Fingers crossed.<br /><br />I'm not thinking of going until middle to end of March at the earliest though. Too busy until then!<br /><br />Thanks for your advice ....I appreciate it!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476943539943172099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20006571.post-51432582131196022342010-02-16T08:57:40.297+09:002010-02-16T08:57:40.297+09:00Oh Helen. try not to worry too much about getting ...Oh Helen. try not to worry too much about getting your wisdom out but I do want to recommend going with someone you like and someone that is aware to those who HATE dentists. <br /><br />FOR years.. my mother and myself would take valium to relax us.. of course, sadly, the dentist only gave us one or two pills...lol <br /><br />I had one cut out by a surgeon, just local, he was done in 5 minutes, stitches and all.<br /><br />The other two, it was hurting something awful, he was called in after hours... he gave me local as well and pulled the first one, but said the other one needs to come out, best you let me do it now or you won't do it later.. so BAM. he took the second one.<br /><br />The assistant was nice, my ex-husband was rubbing my legs/knee and my back was wet from being nervous, but it didn't hurt... <br /><br />I think the key is finding someone you are comfy with, someone you can trust.<br /><br />My husband had a root canal and he searched reviews, etc online (he is a bigger baby than I am).<br /><br />But he has trouble getting num though, when I get novicane... usually my nose gets numb even..<br /><br />The only thing I HATED in my life was I had a root canal once, when I was poor college student, living away from home.. no insurance.. I couldn't afford to get caps over a tooth.. so it ended up getting abscessed .. and needed a root canal.. I had to go back MANY times but he was SO kind, so gentle.. and he would this huge scope and light because my tooth was so small.. but he did a terrific job.<br /><br />I think I had to go back a few times because he would clean the roots with those little instruments.. and was more or less taking care of me because I'm a BIG baby.. again.. I loved Valium..Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
