They said the broken tooth was infected and I had an abscess which is what caused the bleeding and pain. So they pulled it out. They said the infection came out with the tooth so I should feel better soon. Have gauze in my mouth now for the bleeding from the extraction.

Only soft food for 24 hours, no hot liquids or hot food for 24 hours, no rinsing etc for 24 hours , start rinsing with warm salt water several times a day for 4 days after the first 24 hours are over.

Hope you feel better soon. Glad you got the problem taken care of though.

I am a bit worried about being back on olanzapine. I guess it's for the better. I don't really like the way it makes me feel. So I might go off of it once I'm settled in my move down south. Perhaps I won't need it then. It's just the travel that's stressing me out I think.

Thank you WA and Braking Dawn

On the other hand, olanzapine makes my mood and anxiety very, very calmed down, which is very beneficial for me. So that part of me wants to be on it.

Good outcome about the tooth, Blue_Bird.

I also have a missing tooth. I was up in the mountains with a friend & I guess the combination of the height & the freezing cold caused a back tooth to crack/shatter. Someone told me to put an aspirin directly on the tooth until I could get to the dentist. That did remove the pain, & eventually the tooth got removed. Anyway, thank goodness it wasn't a front tooth.

SlumberKitty · Jan 18, 2023 at 12:06 PM

Glad your dentist appointment went well Blue_Bird!

Desoxyn · Jan 18, 2023 at 12:42 PM

We didn't go skiing, but I managed to wake up early. No hypnic jerks while falling asleep last night.

I felt so much better last night. Now everything is just foggy. It sucks.

Wow, I didn't realize that could happen with the cold/elevation, I'm sorry that happened, glad you could get it taken care of though

I have heard about the aspirin thing before, putting it on the tooth.

I have 2 missing teeth total now, one on the lower right side in the back and one on the lower left side in the back. I'm also very glad I haven't had to have that done with any of my front teeth. I'm going there for my regular cleaning/exam/full x-rays in the beginning of February, once this is fully healed. I'm relieved this is taken care of though because knowing it was broken and had an infection/abscess made me very stressed because I know tooth infections can be extremely dangerous if they spread to other areas of the body/the heart

Thanks Kit! how are you today?

Desoxyn, glad the hypnic jerks stopped, hope you feel better soon

WA, I think that you're right that maybe moving might not be the best time to mess with the meds Just because it can be stressful and you might need them at least until you get settled in there

Well, it gets very scary when you start talking about death, and no one can do anything for you.

I'm not on Snapchat at all. It's still connected on my old phone because uninstalling it is too drastic. Sorry.

This will probably be the 2nd tooth that I have to get removed. I have so many fillings. And I have 2 crowns. I just feel so disappointed with myself and self conscious especially since I’m only 28 and have all these tooth problems. Like I’m scared I’ll have none by time I’m 40. I am brushing thoroughly 3 times a day now and flossing twice a day and using enamel repair mouthwash 2 times a day, I’ve been doing this everyday but hate how my teeth look and feel like they could be so much better if I went back in time and fixed whatever was wrong with me so I would actually brush my teeth and go to dental appointments etc. it didn’t help that my mom never took me to dental appointments after I was 6 until I was like 12. She never prioritized dental hygiene with me when I was little and she didn’t really take care of her own teeth because half the time she was too depressed to do so.

Of course my binge/purging for 10 years didn’t help things

I know it’s my responsibility now but I can’t help but feel a lot of self hatred and regret recently regardless.

Don't hate yourself, Blue_Bird. I had dental treatment when I was a kid and never binged or purged but my teeth were still in rough shape by my early twenties. Still, my teeth lasted until my early 60s. And I did minimal care.

Thank you, BB. I still listen to podcasts and watch Pluto tv on my phones. Lately I'm sleeping too much too. Hugs!

The majority of my teeth, I mean. I was in my mid twenties when I lost the two lower front teeth, and lost more throughout the years. But I had still most of my teeth I think. They put in a bridge in front.

I feel so timid.. And keep deleting my posts. I wish I didn't have any hope left, but I do. Just cuz of the reason that this goes on forever. I have no choice in life but to make good decisions.
