HERSCHEL BROKE YOUR TOOTH?!

My Special Little Ham Man is 42lbs of concentrated power of friendship, which he uses to give himself unnatural propulsion powers, and launches himself at anyone that so much as looks at him with extreme joy, like a short, hairy weeping angel.

Anyway, it's been an emotionally intense two weeks for Herschel because I got spayed and couldn't have him in my lap and we also closed on a house, so from his perspective I was suddenly very ill and refused to snuggle with him and I kept VANISHING off to parts unknown. Very distressing. So two nights ago, when I was satisfied that my stitches had healed and let him jump up for Lap Time, he was so overcome with joy that he put too much juice into the bounce and smacked his concrete-reinforced little noggin directly into my mouth, and broke the root of my right incisor.

(He'd do it again)

Anyway, while I am largely financially stable and have dental insurance, the surgery and move mean the family is a little strapped for cash and the dental insurance doesn't cover much, so if you've got a spare dollar to toss at my Ko-Fi, I'd extremely appreciate it. (today's date is 2/7/2023, so people don't feel compelled to donate next year or something if this ends up in circulation.)

Been following you for years and am very, very glad you're not only still here but are in fact continuing to recover! Loved Phangs, can't wait for book 2!

No pressure to answer but did your awful dental situation get resolved yet? Did you have all those poisonous fillings removed, or is that still on the list? I'm guessing your other health crises took priority, and then the whole pandemic thing?

Much love and appreciation, and pets for Holly Mop :)

Aw, thank you. That's very kind of you to say.

Magic Dentist Man managed to remove enough of my contaminated fillings for me to heal and recover from the mercury poisoning/major jaw bone infection, and my mouth is now much better. My last x-ray even showed that most of my jawbone has regrown, so all those painful surgeries were worth it.

I still have two fillings that need to be replaced, but they are not contaminated. (I'm just mildly allergic to them, lol.) I had to take a break from a lot of the procedures we were doing because my overall health became too unstable in 2018-2019, and I was too weak to undergo any more procedures. We also found out that due to my MCAS/EDS, I'm not a good candidate for metal braces, which was the initial plan to try and correct my unstable jaw. My dentist was looking into whether I'd be a good candidate for Invisalign when the pandemic hit, and all my non-essential care ground to a halt.

I've been back for a couple of cleanings since then. I was petrified of what they might find because before the pandemic, I was getting my teeth cleaned every 2-3 months to keep on top of the bone infection(s)/gum problems I'd been having from all the procedures, but my mouth is pretty much healed! There are none of the infection or high inflammation markers I had before, and my mouth and jaw are mostly pain-free these days :)

The nerve damage that makes it hard for me to swallow is still there, but that's life.

We're still hoping to try and stabilize my jaw and fix some of the gaps in my smile that I was left with, but I can afford to wait, which is nice. It's nice not to be throwing 10+k a year at the dentist to stay alive!

Im someone with extreme dental anxiety because I've experienced multiple traumatic dental appointments in my life at a very young age, and I absolutely hate when dentists treat me like a child or tell me the reasons I choose my options or the reason I tell them things is because of pain and they completely dismiss me.

I fucking hate dentists.

I have jaw problems that causes me to be unable to open my jaw all the way and this can cause me to have extreme pain during long dental visits and never, not once, has a dentists even given me options for helping with this, even if asked.

On top of that, I have extreme anxiety while at dentist offices because my primary dentist actually abused me during my visits and my parents didn't know about it until my fourth visit.

Sorry for trauma dumping, I just left my appointment and I'm so angry.

Hey so as someone with a lot of dental repairs and fillings done, I just recently learned something I wish I knew a lot earlier. if you have fillings that break often when they're only a few years old or less, it's very likely that you are grinding your teeth when you sleep and you need to ask your dentist about getting a nighttime mouth guard.

I've had several dentists and probably over a dozen fillings done and lots of decay and lots of trauma but no dentist ever did any substantial questioning beyond 'do you drink a lot of soda?' or 'do you grind your teeth at night?' and it's like no, and I don't think so, (how would I know?? I'm asleep??) and they'd be like oh hm. Weird. And then just do the fillings. but this is the first doctor to say that it's very likely you're grinding your teeth and it's a very common thing to have, I will make you a custom fit mouth guard, fillings should not break this quickly and they should last for around 10 years.

If you have a lot of anxiety, drink a lot of caffeine, take stimulants or ssris, smoke or drink, or have a neurological disease you're more likely to grind. So as someone with a lot of dental work and a lot of trauma/anxiety I figure this may help other people to know because if I did it sure would have saved a lot of hassle and money and trauma I had to deal with

Don't you just love it when a dentist says "it's okay" when you tell them you barely feel numb and then they act all surprised when you frantically try to tell them that what they just did hurt like hell. Because I do. It took me so long to get past old trauma with a dentist and now I don't want to go back, and I kind of hate all dentists now, I've never had a good one.

toothless assistance please

Hey, things are tough, and we had our teeth pulled and put on denture waiting list 9 months ago, and will likely be like this for another 6-12 months. Medical and life expenses hit, and essentials are expensive enough without a specialized diet for intestinal chronic illness, but making it essentially liquid is even worse and requiring a lot of extra cooking steps. As you can imagine, this transfam is unable to get through the end of the month and any help you can give is super appreciated. We are Sick, Tired, and broke and need your help! paypal or canadian interac transfer both go to [email protected]

A third tooth feels like it’s on its way towards breaking. Money would literally solve all of my problems and I have never seen as much money as I need to fix my teeth ever in my life and now it looks like I’ll have another one to add to the bill. Life is a joke

#teeth #dental trauma #sys.txt #it’s my second to last molar on my right side. the last one on that side already has a chunk missing. I have gastroparesis which has been #flaring up lately and the stomach acid erodes my teeth faster + I have hypercalcification due to my amelogenesis imperfecta :’) #the last molar on my top left side also has a chunk missing. it’s all on my top teeth #I woke up today and the surface of the tooth is stark white and extremely rough to the touch. it doesn’t hurt. but it doesn’t feel right

the worst thing about having botched braces is literally everything being ruined completely in my mouth.

Most of my family said my smile was better. My overbite had not been fixed and now my lower jaw swings unnaturally to the left. My family complained I didn't have the same appetite, and that I chewed too loud. Due to the unnatural swing of my jaw and the fact that my right molars are now almost completely sideways, chewing like before braces is impossible with biting my tongue or cheeks or dislocating my jaw My mother complained about my new snaggled front tooth. I was given a permanent retainer without my consent or understanding of what it was and the glue is disintegrating. My gums were lasered after braces so far down I can't brush my bottom front teeth without discomfort. Two teeth were removing for "crowding" that created noticeable gaps after I had braces removed.

And yet my orthodontist never saw a single damn problem with my teeth doing any of this, and neither did my dentist! According to them, my teeth looked perfect, when they now had more problems then when I was young. So now it's thousands more dollars as an adult to get braces again to fix the damage done by Dr. fricking DingDong.

My anxiety today is the worst it’s been in three years. In January 2020 I experienced a bad trauma at the dentist. I had horrible ptsd and had to go back into intensive outpatient psychiatric care. I’ve known since then that I have a few cavities. Recently one tooth has been sore once in a while, but last night started hurting. I got so anxious just thinking about having to go to the dentist, but I went on my insurance website and found a few locations that accept my plan. I just called one and have an appointment next Monday. I’m fucking terrified. I texted my sister, though, and she is going to come with me. I’ve always had anxiety surrounding going to the dentist, but since my trauma it’s been horrible. I’ve been shaking all day, crying on and off, and almost started dissociating at one point. And it’s just been/going to be a week, when it rains it pours. My dad is having major surgery on Friday morning, and my mom has some stuff going on. I’m just feeling overwhelmed. But at least I was brave enough to make the appointment, I’ve put it off as long as I could.

ahg it’s also just been occurring to me lately that--aside from the obvious horror of Fantine losing her hair and teeth, aside from it tying her to Tholomyes in a horrible symbolic way, etc, just on a practical level--

she’s  poor. Desperately, hopelessly poor.  That means she’s eating hard bread.  The hard, “black” bread Valjean doesn’t want Cosette to eat.  Bread that is probably made up largely of material that is not flour.  With no front teeth for biting. 

aaaaaaaaaaaagh

My dentist has literally traumatized me. I can't stand to be around her after what she did, and I'm now afraid of dentists in general. I lie awake thinking about it, unable to sleep at night.

I have tooth pain all the time, I have for like years now and a succession of incompetents have only made that worse. I used to face my endless appointments with weary resignation and a vague sense of pride at how little dentistry bothered me, but now I struggle to even call for an appointment.

I'm poor as shit but I have to pay for private appointments, even tho as a recipient of disability benefits I'm legally entitled to free dental care. Because I can only change my registered NHS dentist by switching to another NHS dentist, and not one in the city has been accepting new patients all year.

People have told me i should sue, but I'm so sick and exhausted all the time. I don't even have the energy to figure out if I have a legal case, or if I've left it to long already.

I love that I’ve gone from “it’s a new year things are gonna be okay” to “right well maybe I can go five minutes without needing to book an urgent GP appointment again” in less time than it takes to get through a medical waiting list here.
