A lesson painfully learned again

So for about a month I have been treating tooth pain with IB Profin whenever my teeth would ache. I knew it was inevitable that I would have to deal with my 2 broken teeth but I could NOT stomach the PAIN or the COST and so I avoided it.

                                                               


LET ME JUST SAY----- DO NOT TO THIS!!!! -----------
March 28th when Doug got home around 8:30 PM I was in severe pain and crying and Doug called his Dad and got his dentist's name and number and he arranged for him to look at me that night. We drove to his office and he met us there. I was swollen and sore and he gave me medication so that he could give me a root canal.
 Let me just say that HE IS A WONDERFUL DENTIST and I trust him completely...after 4 shots .. he started a root canal and I FELT everything! It was my WORST nightmare ever!!! I screamed and cried!!! Dentists must have to be tenacious.. because he persisted to fix me, even though I was in horrible pain. He explained that I was in pain because I waited until I was inflamed to get help! I understood that but it still hurt. When I talked to him later. I explained because of my ANXIETY over dental work it requires pain to get me to go.

THEN it was almost 11 when Doug went to get my prescriptions filled.. .first he had to find an all night pharmacy and then he had to find 1 that had penicillian. It was 2:30 AM when I was able to take pain medication and antibiotics. At least I slept.

The Tuesday after  I went in to get x-rays...while waiting for the dentist to look at my tooth. He decided to have my teeth cleaned.. they are very smooth! She said I had nice clean teeth! He looked at my other tooth and he decided to do another root canal but this time I was not inflamed and so the pain medication worked and while I could feel the pressure of the drill I did not have any pain.

It took a week not to have to run to my IB Profin and pencilian.. but finally I feel no pain!!!


MORAL OF THE STORY>> See your dentist regularly!
