Why the Pain is Still here!


Now- my friend Andi was shocked that I was still feeling the pain of a root canal. Like I said- root canal- no problem! As you can see from this x-ray- it is the infection in the gum line that hurts the most. I had to have cuts made in both front and back of my tooth so that the dentist could get down into the gum line and bone area which is where the infection settled. My stitches are also bothersome in that I can feel them up against my cheek. If I could yank them out- I would. I just hope that it all goes away and I never have to spend that kind of money again!

Yikes! You poor thing! Dental work is the pits. :( My best friend's husband looked kinda like that picture you posted below. He even went to the ER and they thought he had a severe sinus infection. Good thing they caught yours!!! Hope you get to feeling better soon. :)

That is quite the problem. I am sorry you had to do that. I had that one tooth in my mouth that I had 2 root canals on. It sometimes still bothers me. Nobody knows what is wrong with it. But I am tough. Yeah right. Anyway, love the x-ray.
Your right I guess Bowden was it's own little town. Because if memory serves me right, my best friend's dad had quite the set of teeth.

About Me

My photo
Adam and I have been married now for 14 years! To make a long story short- we met at the end of June, had our first date on July 4th, and were married on Sept 1, 1995. All I have to say, is "it was in his kiss." Adam is now a regional manager with Vita-mix. It has been a great blessing to have him here at home so that he can witness his children doing and saying all the fun things they do. We love where we live, but really do miss living close to both our parents and siblings. We have so much fun when we are all together and I am so lucky to have 4 fun loving wonderful sister in laws,lots of friends and 4 amazing BEST friends to hang out with. I know many of you will find this shocking but one of my best friends is my mother in law! I know that I can call on her at any time just to share a good laugh. She has given me the best thing a woman can give away- her son. I know- grab the tissue, I'll wait. Seriously- I love life and above all I am so grateful to know that MY FAMILY IS FOREVER!
