Self-Medicated

I know I haven’t blogged for a few days. Sometimes there just isn’t anything to blog about. So since I have no words lets find some pics.

Well I saw the dentist yesterday. Yes I did finally have a golden shit. And before you go wondering if I found it, yes I did. I washed it, bleached it and took it with me. I told the dentist what happened and he says it happens to a lot of people. He took it and put it in the autoclave for 10 minutes to sterilize it. I was not really wanting to put it back in my mouth but I really had no choice. So yes, its back in my mouth. It cost 87.00 bucks to do it instead of getting a new one that would of cost 900.00 . So now I can brag about my shitty tooth.

I have also made an appointment to get my 4 front teeth done in June. Which I am happy about. The dentist said he can do everything in a 2-3 hour sitting. Front teeth and 3 fillings. I wont have to do sedation with an IV. I can do it with taking some pills to relax me. I hope so. I really dont want to feel anything. After all the work is done I have to go back a week later for the veneers to be put on. So for a week I will look weird since I cant where any temp teeth. I’m allergic to acrylic. No big deal, I’ll just stay home. And I like this dentist. He was very gentle and friendly.

Tomorrow I am going to Langley to see the Dentist. He wont be doing any work, just taking a look and getting everything set up. I guess it will be another week before we get it done. I’ve decided to get everything done. Replace the lost crown and the 3 filling and do a cleaning in the first visit and the second time I’m get my front four veneers. Hopefully it will only take 2 visits since I have to be sedated. I’m really not looking forward to all of this. I know that I will be in a lot of pain after. Not from the dental work so much, I can handle that pain. Its the jaw pain that will last for weeks. TMJ makes it very hard to keep my mouth open. I wonder if it will be different with sedation? The drugs are supposed to help relax the muscles. I guess I’ll find out.

On the good side I have dropped 2lbs since I am eating less. On the bad side… I have bit my tongue and my cheek about a dozen times.

I was looking at my stats to see what people searched for on my site and this seems to be the top on the list today.” I swallowed my tooth”….LOL So I decided to go search and see what answers people were getting. I think the best one so far was this one……

“I swallowed my tooth. how long does it take for body to past that tooth. want to recover it. any suggestions?”

“What an awesome question. Please allow me to elaborate.

You won’t pass it. It will say in your stomach and grow tooth trees from which will hatch baby tooth fairies. But if for some reason you do pass it, it will probably chomp on your intestines (since it is a tooth you know) and make big holes and you’ll bleed a lot. That is as long as your tooth doesn’t eat EVERYTHING inside of you.

If it does happen to make it out of you unscathed, you’ll need a wire screen to strain your turds to find the tooth. Get a butter knife and slice your turds up in 1/4″ pieces. Don’t mistake the tooth for a piece of corn though. Then just pop the thing back in your mouth and attach it with some superglue. You should be good to go.”
