Dental work

Having any kind of dental work done knocks me around so much. I lost my denture this morning in the middle of a spin.. I was worried what the dentist would find yesterday, a crown fell out during the last lockdown and I knew there was damage but luckily its only a bit of decay that they will remove and then stopper up that tooth. At the end of the cleaning and the xrays the gave me a big hit of goopy flouride that I had to hold in my mouth and as soon as I got home my body started to spin, I ate a piece of crystallised ginger to cope with the nausea but then another energy spin.. I was in such a good place before this yesterday and found myself in tears last night again..

I actually got into bed after eating and cried with my body spasming all over the place. The dentist asked when I had that crown done but its such a blur when all that trauma hit with my mother and sisters I was pulled this way and that and after one set of root canal had to drive four hours to go to another town to give my Mum support following a botched knee replacement where she nearly died due to clotting and was cut from thigh to knee and keen to ankle. Seeing her in that much pain was so traumatic and I had just gone through the root canal and there was so so much more to follow.

I really should be congratulating myself today that one.. i fronted up to the dentist and two am still up and moving, during the night I was all over the place but I did manage to sleep for an hour then another four and half and then another hour and even managed to eliminate all of yesterday’s food.. Today has been a struggle then losing my denture on top of it, I remember taking it out in the living room but after searching high and low I cannot find it..

Anyway my head hurts a little.. I have the treatment coming up in 2 weeks to remove the decay and they have talked to me about how I cope and asked me what I need when I undergo it because during one root canal that went on too long I had to have them stop before it was finished, I could not cope. Having nearly lost my life in that car and not being able to breathe being on my back with them over me is a trigger but I have told them that.. At least these days I can speak about what I endure and I felt heard. I also have a new female dentist now who says she is also anxious patient so that helps in a way, But my tummy really did not like that flouride at all. They tell me it is helping my teeth but I do not really know what the impact of it is on my other body systems.
