Snow Melt

2 gone and 13 ½ to go

The dentist pulled two teeth from my upper jaw today. I have an appointment on August 29 to have more teeth extracted. I am still looking forward to the process. I felt no pain while the teeth were being pulled, now there is a slight pain.

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the least painful and 10 the worst; the pain is a 1 or perhaps a 1 1/2. I have a perscription for pain pills, the dentist said to take 1 pill before I went to bed tonight, so that is what I will do.

The gum is not bleeding now, it did bleed a little bit right after the teeth came out. However, the bleeding did not last very long. I am supposed to eat soft foods tonight, so I did not put hot peppers on my ham and cheese sandwich. I ate the sandwich as I normally eat it, with the exception of being careful on which side of my mouth I chewed the food.

Enjoying going to the dentist is a completely new experience for me. I have never enjoyed going to a dentist before.
