Dentist

Today I went to the dentist for what I thought was just a consultation and it ended up me getting a tooth pulled. I didn't say but I broke a tooth off the Saturday when I was with my sisters.... I was just eating a muffin and I noticed something strange in my mouth and went into the rest room to look and my tooth was gone.... well most of it anyway the rest was pulled out today in the office.... I thought it was going to be a long drawn out affair and it was over in an hour and I didn't have to go to the specialist this time.... yipee.... now I have to wait for the bleeding to stop and then when the freezing comes out hope it doesn't hurt. So far it hasn't hurt at all. But you know Iam still shaking and can hardly type.... I really really really hate going to the dentist because every time it usually means one less tooth or lots of pain some how.... I thought I was going to have to pull the rest of the top and getting false teeth but he said no and the girl said you don't want those if you can help it so I have another reprieve..... I hope. I hope they can attach the tooth on my partial ok....
But I won't get that back until Thursday or Friday so it means I won't be eating much in the meantime. Looks like mashed potatoes and applesause for me for a few days. LOL  Any better ideas? I lost 6#s so far so maybe I will lose a few more in these next days.
So its a good thing to be done on a  rainy day and you no doubt will be hearing more from me on this in the next days too. LOL
Hope you are having a wonderful day and no dentist visits for you in the near future.
Hugs, Sandra

At least you didn't have to set up another appointment and then go back to have it taken out. Still I'm sure it was pretty darn stressful. I like oatmeal and pudding so I guess I'd have that and maybe yogurt and cottage cheese too. Applesauce goes good on cottage cheese. And then there is ice cream and malts :) Take care!

Joan has some darn good food ideas.  I would just add V8 and DanActive to the list.  Happy for you the appointment is in the past.  I know the fear too.  Do you remember our childhood dentist!

Oh, I know all about those broken teath, I've even had them break off my partial.  My dentist says the same...keep what I have and don't have them all pulled.  I had to go to work a few times with out the partial too, while it was being fixed.  It's a good thing not many people come in our office...what a laugh they would have had.  Take good care !  And remember 'this too shall pass'.  'On Ya' - ma
