blackberry444The dentist confirmed that it was probably another abscess, but he's not sure he can fix that tooth again as it's already been root-filled twice, once by the previous dentist and once by him. When he did it he found that there was an extremely hard part of the tooth that made it difficult to drill through and although he did his best, he thinks that if it recurs I shall have to lose the tooth, which is a bit depressing, since it shows when I smile He said he thought he could put in a bridge to the next-door tooth if I have to have it done, and in the meantime we'll wait and see how it goes. I have no confidence that it won't start up again, probably at Easter, which is the next Bank Holiday!
I made an appointment for Charles to go and see him next week to have his teeth examined and to start off a cleaning programme for them. He hasn't been to the dentist for about 10 years, ever since his depression got so bad, but now he's feeling a bit better and starting to go out and socialise a bit more, he feels very self conscious about his awfully stained teeth. He drinks gallons of black coffee and black tea and his teeth are very discoloured and horrid-looking. If he really wants to get a job, he's going to have to have something done about it. It's not that he doesn't brush and floss his teeth, it's just that they've got incredibly stained.
Not only that but he's started complaining about heat and cold sensitivity, which makes me think his gums may be receding and since he's never had toothache or even one filling in his 32 years, I think he should make an effort to keep it that way. I understand that he couldn't bring himself to do it before and even now I've made the appointment he's a bit dismayed because it's only a few days away, so it's time for me to get firm about it. I expect I'll have to take him to the surgery. Sigh!
I'm very very glad that Charles has such strong teeth, but I feel very fed up that mine are about as strong as jelly!
We woke up to a powdering of snow this morning and an extremely cold freezing wind. By the time I left the dentist it had warmed up considerably and in spite of the fact that it has continued to snow from time to time, the roads are clear, around here at least, although I understand there have been problems on the A1 at times during the day and David has telephoned to say he won't be going on Boys' Night Out tonight as the snow round Hexham is very bad.
Now I have to decide what to cook tonight, but as I've had an afternoon sitting on the sofa, comfort eating to try to forget about the pains in my back and knees caused by yesterday's test, I have no appetite at all. And I dare not test my blood glucose!
I'm still incredibly tired. Since I have no appointments at all tomorrow, I may stay in bed till lunch time.
