i went to the dentis this morning for the first day of my plan to replace all metal fillings with teh white ones.. They had to give me extra EXTRA shots to numb me out. the doc used this THING that made a cracking noise. he said it has a ratchet? jesus.. at one point i thought it was cracking my molar off. once the anesthetic wore off, i was in pain.. PAIN! it’s alright now as long as I don’t have to talk a lot. talking seems to agravate it.
anyway… i think he didn’t shave off enough on one molar so it feels like my bite isn’t even.. ARG!!! it’s partly my fault cuz he asked if it felt OK and i said yes. How the hell can i tell tho. half my mouth is numb. i’m accidentally biting on my inner cheek and tongue. my jaw hurts from being spread open for so long. i’m tired…. christ!!
I know what you mean about the bite not being even…not too long ago I had to get a new filling and for the first day or so, it felt really weird. But now I don’t even notice it. I think that either, you just adjust to it, or it wears down…
I hope it feels better, though.
Reply to muckingabouti hope so! i’d hate for him to have to inject me again on that side just to grind it.
i go back in 2 weeks for my last two filling replacements. THEN i get to have my teeth whitened. I CAN’T WAIT.
Reply to Tania (digsite)Dont worry it wears down. I had that for a few days too
