the dentist
Posted by Robyn Nelson on Wednesday, August 22, 2012

I have to say, I go to the best dental office ever! I have never laughed so much at a dental office, then the one I have gone to for the past 3 years. They are so great at their jobs, and they are so on top of things with all my health problems, but they are just the funniest people. You can just tell they really love their jobs. It just really makes it more enjoyable to go when everyone is just so happy. It is so hard for me to go to a dental office with my TMJ. Tonight, my jaw hurts so bad, and my head is pounding. But when they had me just in "stitches" laughing so hard, it isn't so hard to take.
My head really is pounding, and having to wear a head set to listen to the meeting.... OUCH :'(
On top of it, my guts are just ripping me apart tonight. I can hardly keep supper down. The past few days I have been so sick, but tonight I'm sicker than ever.
If the new system isn't hear, in a few more years, I might have to have some work done on my heart. Because I've had both Scarlet fever and Rheumatic fever my docs have kept a close eye on me. They told me when I am between 45-48 they will have to address my heart issues. So that is in 2+ years. I do hope the new system will be here before then.
Everything went well at the dentist. I really work so hard to take care of my teeth. It is the only healthy thing I have, so I want them to stay that way. I did thank my dentist over and over for telling me about biotene. toothpaste I can't live without it now. All these dentists I have seen, not one of them told me about Biotene toothpaste. What is the matter with people. Regular toothpaste just gives me so much pain to use. And here there is a toothpaste, mouthwash, gel that is made for dry mouth. The hygentist told me how while her dad was in the hospital on breathing tubes, he would get sores in his mouth from being so dry and they didn't have anything in the hospital that really helped. So she went and bought him some of the gel and it soothed his mouth right down.
I told her how when I had my surgery, I had 6 nurses asking me various questions about my health but what they all wanted to know was about the Biotene, and where they could buy it. When I first tried to find it, it was hard to get a hold of. now it is easy. I asked if she had any idea why they don't keep it next to the regular tooth paste, but she had no idea. It is annoying that it is normally way up high someplace odd, like across the isle from other toothpaste. go figure/ I did learn today though that Biotene makes a "sensitive" kind too. So when my teeth get over sensitive, i can just get the other kind. Although I haven't seen it yet. so i might have to order it on-line. instead of the tube being blue it is green.
enough toothpaste talk. actually, the reason i wrote so much about it, is I am hoping i don't forget it...
i have a feeling i won't feel any better tomorrow, i'm sure my jaw is really going to hurt a lot more. oh my head hurts today.
meeting is about to start, gotta go.
