Teething...owwie

Kaitlin'smom wrote: Okay now I so totaly know what these kids are going through...I am cutting my last wisdom tooth...yep I still have them, the other 3 never bothered me, I never even knew when they came in, but this one...OUCH. I guess I am going to have to call the dentist and see what I need to do...... I just dont feel like I have the time to go to the dentist and take care of them, but geesh this constant dull ache is driving me nuts.

I just dread the thought that they want them out....that means sugery

Bummer. I'm sorry you are feeling poorly. Tooth pain is horrible.

If your other wisdom teeth aren't bothering you, you may be able to get away without having surgery. I actually had all 4 of mine just pulled by my dentist.
My case wasnt' complicated or anything and I'm really resistant to the idea of general anesthesia. I just got a few extra novicane shots and some laughing gas & I was fine. Just wanted to let you know that it may be an option.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
I guess if they are all in that might be possible...thanks for the idea when I talk to then I will ask if thats possible, I really dont like the idea of tring to take off work, and worring about Kaitlin to have sugery....

KatieLeigh79 replied: Depending on your pain tolerance you should be okay sweetie! I had 4 impacted all taken the same time(which they had to crack then remove), with 1 shot of novicane and nothing else (sick thing was my dad had the same thing done without) and within a few hours I was okay (just lived on Advil for a day or two)...

Kaitlin'smom replied:
when it comes to dental work I have a very low pain tollerence, I have to get the laughing gas before any topical or novican is used, something about the way it tastes will make the shake horribly then I throw up (sorry TMI). So if they can give me gas then novicaine me up I would be fine I think

A&A'smommy replied: ouch yes they hurt! I hope that you don't have to have surgery!!

coasterqueen replied: Ouch, yikes! That is definitely not any fun. Sorry you are having this pain. Are they still hurting?

Kaitlin'smom replied:
not to much more of pressure and my gums on that side are very sore today.

I called to the dentist office to try and get it but there hours dont seem to work for me so I have no clue what to do. They dont start until 8a and since the dentist Is close to where I live and the sitter is 1/2 hour away makes for a difficult time to make an appointment...... I dont knwo what I will do, but I am sure at least this one needs to come out

kimberley replied: yikes. sorry to hear about your tooth pain. the dentist isn't that bad. just ask for gas and you will be just fine. could DH or a relative watch Kaitlin so you can go?

Kaitlin'smom replied:
well my family all lives south of me about 1/2 hour so that wont work and I dont know yet if DH can take off early one day next week so I can at least be seen.......its hard when things are far appart

MommyToAshley replied: Oh no! Sorry about the tooth pain!

Since I live close, you are welcome to bring Kaitlin over here. I am sure Ashley would love the company and our house is toddler proof. Just let me know what day you need to go so I can check to make sure I don't have anything scheduled that day.

Kaitlin'smom replied:
awww thanks, if DH cant get a 1/2 hour off work or so then I might take you up on that.
