Toothache

Good morning to you! I haven’t published a new article in a week, so I thought it was time to write something. I'm just not fine.

My teeth started to hurt on Sunday. Then I took medicine and woke up on Monday without a toothache and I was very happy about that. But I couldn’t be happy for long because by the evening the pain was back and even stronger than before. I took medicine but it didn't work. I put a bottle of water in the freezer and later put it on my face. The water bottle was with me all night because I literally woke up every hour. Not only does my tooth hurt anymore but my ears and not just one tooth but almost all of it. I think this is a serious inflammation now.

The truth is, almost all my teeth are bad. They have holes, some are broken. Now you surely think I should brush my teeth regularly and then it would happen, but I brush my teeth regularly, maybe it’s more genetics. For one thing, though, I’m really wrong at not going to the dentist.

When I was younger I went to the dentist twice to pull my teeth out. Two different teeth, two different dentists. The minor problem was that anesthetic injection was only partially effective in one case and completely ineffective in the other. But all right, I can stand the pain, I thought. In one case, the dentist broke my tooth as he tried to pull it out. Then he struggled, but after 30 minutes of excruciating attempts, he simply told me he was sorry but couldn’t pull my teeth out. I went there with a holey tooth and came home with a broken tooth and a swollen face. I asked him to give me medicine to reduce the inflammation, but he didn’t give it. So I think visiting the dentist just made my situation worse. In the second case, almost the same thing happened, a holey tooth, a dentist, a broken tooth, a bluish face, failure, pain. So don’t let anyone tell me I should go to the dentist because then I’ll be better off. I have been very afraid of dentists my whole life. But these two cases reinforced that feeling.

My dream is to go to a good private clinic once where good doctors take out all my teeth. Of course, all this under anesthesia. And I want a denture.

Maybe I'm too young to have a denture. But what can I do? Looks like I have paper teeth. hehe! By the way, if I wanted to go to the dentist now I wouldn’t be able to do that either because I’m not vaccinated against Covid and so they don’t care for me. Of course, there are private doctors who accept patients without vaccination, but they ask for a lot of money and the waiting list is long because now everyone who goes unvaccinated goes to these doctors. But if I want to be really honest, I have to say that if the doctor would accept me, I wouldn't go either. That’s how the dream of a denture stays left and in the meantime I try to endure the often recurring pain.
