It seems I only have bad things to write about on this blog, but life is what it is. Again I haven’t updated it for a few days due to health issues. Do you remember my tooth removal? Well the pain didn’t go away and it was unbearable. I held on with all my strength and tried to “swallow” the pain, it wasn’t easy. I decided to wait until Monday to see a dentist but now I know it was a mistake.
I had an appointment scheduled to remove the stitches tomorrow but yesterday I called the clinic and asked to be seen my the present dentist, just to check if everything was fine. I went there and as soon as the dentist saw my mouth she start talking to her assistant requesting anesthesia, needles, scissors, and other materials I don’t even know the name. I asked: is there something wrong? The dentist said: yes, you have a serious infection, you shouldn’t have waited so many days to come. I can’t imagine the pain you went through, I’m going to remove the stitches and clean all the area including the bone once the infection has spread out.
Well, the gum was so infected that she had to give me several anesthesias in several places to put my gum and mouth to sleep. After all the work she had to do on the gum and tooth hole she told me I was going to have a lot of pain the next couple of days because the antibiotic she prescribed me takes 2 days to start doing effect, however she put a smelly product inside the hole where the tooth was to help fight the infection while the antibiotic is still trying to work.
Today I feel much better although the jaw is hurting a lot and I have difficulty in opening my mouth. The wound looks much better now but I still have some pain. Tomorrow the antibiotic will be working “full time” so I hope this all go away soon. That’s enough…go away pain.
Fortunately no payment was necessary for this urgent appointment.
