I'm jealous of DH's tooth extraction tomorrow

What a bizarre thing to be jealous over! I'm in so much pain from my overcrowded teeth, though!

 

You know those metal cavity fillings that almost every kid in the 80s got? Yeah. Mine were, almost every single one of them, defective. Several teeth cracked right in half in adulthood and I had them pulled years ago. The dentist was hopeful that some of my crowded teeth would naturally move to fill in the spots that my molars left behind. They didn't. And every once in a while the gum area around the crowded teeth hurts. Badly.

 

I've been taking Motrin and Tylenol all day and slathering on Orajel as often as I can stand the taste of it. And I'm jealous that DH gets to have HIS bothersome tooth taken out tomorrow.

 

Whining over. Sometime in the next month or so, I'll have a free assessment to see if Invisalign will work for straightening my teeth and then I'll be pain-free.

Oh man, that stinks! I hope you get that assessment soon. Maybe you can pick the dentist brain tomorrow to see if there is something else you can do in the meantime to help with the pain.
