#tw dental work

[tokyoteddywolf]

O W

Got my upper wisdom teeth extracted today plus an extra tooth that was more filling than tooth, so it had to come out. Externally I'm fine like usual but internally I am a grumpy little wet cat bc OW. My dinner has to be ice cream and applesauce. This is Fine. (It is not fine, ow ow ow ibuprofen only helps so much and the worst part is the pressure not the pain)

So yeah I have holes in my upper jaw now :D

(I can't eat anything crunchy or sticky for at least a week. Only now do I realize how many foods I can't have. And, like the cat I internally am, I now crave all the shit I can't have. Why am I cursed like this. Why.)

Ugh, the dream I had last night was so stressful... 😅 I think my brain combined my cat's recent dental work with another recent orthodontics consultation about my kid, and I had a dream where I was at some dentist office and they were telling me that the plan was to remove all of my upper teeth and replace them with dentures. At first I was like, "Oh. Ok, if you say it's necessary then I guess it's necessary," but as I was in the process of signing papers, I started asking, "Ok, WHY is this necessary? This seems kind of extreme! Do you really NEED to do this?" And the doctor said, "YES. It's necessary to preserve the work we already did on your bottom teeth. If we don't pull out all your upper teeth, all that work will have been for nothing." So I was like, "Oh, well I GUESS that makes sense..." and the doctor left again, but I was standing there at the little receptionist counter/desk preparing to sign the rest of the papers that would commit me to this, and I kept thinking, "Actually, that does NOT make sense! This is ridiculous and I don't want to do it!" So I finally told the receptionist, "I've decided that I'm not going to do this," and then I DIDN'T sign the papers and I LEFT!

So now I'm left with this feeling of RELIEF, but ALSO that guilty, HUNTED feeling like when you skip a class to avoid having to turn in the assignment that you didn't do (Whaaat? I've never done that ever in my LIFE, where did THAT feeling come from? 👀😅). I do not like that feeling! 😩

Nevertheless I am glad that I'm not getting all of my top teeth pulled out, haha.

Toothache hell, part two: why arent the meds working

[lynne-monstr]

sometimes the true spirit of being a grownup is going to the awful doctors appointments and then coming home and rewarding yourself with a new cocktail and something for dinner you've never cooked before

Tw: negative

Wish you could like... sue your depressed for all the time and money it costs to take care of it and anything else that results from it.

I never wanted depression so why do I need to pay for the things that make me not want to off myself? (Pills/therapy/etc.)

For the rest of my life I'll need to pay for the things that are gonna keep me alive because of something I cannot control. I can't just tell my brain 'hey, work properly so we don't wanna fucking die'

If I hadn't been depressed in school I would've planned ahead, I would have been better than where I am today.

I never thought I'd get to 18 and I'm gonna be 26 in April. I don't blame past me because they weren't doing well. Unmedicated. I don't wanna go back to that. It was scary. Actively thinking it's easier to die is fucking terrifying.

Living is so fucking expensive.

our mouth definitely feels worse than after the previous dentist appointment which I guess makes sense because they had to inject anaesthetic 3 times in multiple places and I think in the roughly 12 hours it ended up taking to fully wear off, we chewed up the inside of our lip and cheek a bunch and now I think there's some swelling, but there's also like, a weird slightly numb feeling that isn't actual numbness but keeps making me briefly think it is.

I don't know how deep they inject the anaesthetic but touching our jawbone is painful in one specific spot around where I know the needle went in so I guess it was probably pretty deep? either way I do appreciate that the dentist warned us that area would be pretty tender and that she uses numbing gel before injecting stuff.

it sucks having a ridiculously painful wisdom tooth on one side and a bunch of pain and sensitivity from the injections and brief attempt at pulling a tooth on the other side though and it is making it kinda hard to eat properly

opening this up one more time! 3 slots

emergency quick sketch comms (half body/bust). I need to pay for something really quick so these will be very simply colored (minimal to no shading) and expected to be done in a day or two at most; minimal changes

3 slots; $30 each ($10+ for additional character; 1 pokemon included free). ocs and ships welcome

saw the dentist today. a lot of work has to be done but thankfully most of it can wait until it starts to fall apart completely if i keep everything clean.

bought a waterpik so i can (hopefully!) reverse some developing periodontal pockets and clean under my cracking maryland bridge better. when that fails i'll possibly need a root canal if there's been decay but definitely a standard bridge. obvs i'm keeping that bitch as long as possible.

will need to get a tiiiiiiny baby cavity (my first one in 30 years of having adult teeth!) filled soon-ish. doc says it's a 2/10 on the emergency scale but it's small atm and things that are small are easily cleaned out. two molars are under a cavity watch.

my molar implant could benefit from a gum graft.

my gums are receding in a few places but they aren't terrible. gotta keep 'em healthy to delay more recession.

my roots are small but my teeth are strONK. clearly! i've never had a cavity before.

can't do jack shit about my crooked incisors except file down the veneers. the bone has descended and y'know somethin BONES DON'T MOVE BACK UP. whatevs. i wouldn't be me without a fucked up smile.

FUN!!!!! :))))
