I Went To The Dentist Yesterday And Had 5 Teeth Removed.

[sandyRoe]

She also wanted to take out the stump of another because there was infection in the gum around it. It wouldn't budge so I had to go back today when it was removed surgically. It's gone now but think she said she had to remove a piece of bone. Did she mean a piece of jawbone?

and remember your pain reqt goes down (!) if you slurp ( paracetamol that is ) regularly
and not wait until it becomes aaaaaagony

[sandyRoe]

TY, PP. I'm down to the dregs of the Chilean red so the two Co-codomal Will have me sleeping a sleep of disturbing dreams.

[anneasquith]

Maybe with the combination you may have " happy dreams" Sandy :-)

If you do wake in discomfort in the night Jno's idea of Ibuprofen as a top up is good - it will reduce any inflammation too.

[sandyRoe]

I doubt it. The opiates, with me, lift the lid from the Id. Mine is like a festering cesspit. :-))

[sandyRoe]

Mamya, the dentist mentioned ibuprofen. I have some but hope I won't wake and have to use them.

[Mamyalynne]

Me too Sandy, sleep sound when you retire.

// The opiates, with me, lift the lid from the Id. Mine is like a festering cesspit.// seems to be an age thing - I dont remember hallucinating when I was younger

anyway I hope you mouth has gone back to 'usable' or whatever

[sandyRoe]

PP, were you sold duff acid?

[Peter Pedant]

ah I perceive your mouth has gone back to 'usable'

bum acid, man ?

no I noticed the vivid dreams had slipped over to waking hours as well ....
[ LSD on a technical note has not pain killing qualiities whatsoever ]

[wolf63]

PP - I can do the hallucinations and vivid dreams etc without any help. The medical profession spoiled it all by giving me drugs. I would like my own, fun brain back please.

[Peter Pedant]

I found them upsetting and frightening TBH

Being chased around a room by bereaved parents with an axe ( only one ) was one. The door when I got to it, had no door knob to open it,

Fortral is hopeless I would rather be in pain ...

[anneasquith]

I hope your mouth is much improved sandy. Your up and about early today Peter ?

[Peter Pedant]

thz anne
yes his mouth seems to be working full time today

Sandyroe - normally a 'surgical extraction' will involve bone removal in order to gain purchase on the root frament and to facilitate a path of removal. The area of bone removed is called alveolar bone and it is this part of the jaw bone that supports the teeth. Following tooth loss, this alveoalar bone will shrink away naturally (as the body thinks it now serves no purpose as the tooth is not there) so having bone removal, although not pleasant, is not usually a major issue as it will be lost anyway. Having said that, dentists will try to avoid bone removal wherever possible.

[sandyRoe]

TY, J9PUR.
I'm well on the road to recovery now.

[J9PUR]

Always good to hear!

[DTCwordfan]

Now for that port.....zzzzzz

[sandyRoe]

A glass of Port never featured on my list but as I'm firmly of the opinion we should try everything once, except incest and Morris Dancing, I'll buy a half bottle later when I go for my cigarettes.
I don't suppose they sell crusted port in half bottles?
