but, now... I'm on my way to this...
finally...the placement of the crown... [a LOT of $$$ & angst later...]
this temp has been one of the more problematic ones I've had...
and there have been a lot of them over the years...
there has been a dull ache most of the time...
probably the exposed nerve...
they did have to give me 4 different shots before it got numb...
so I'm not sure if I want a shot today or not...
it's probably just one of those do it & get it over with moments...
I will be really glad to get rid if the temp...
since anything I eat gets caught under it...
flossing around a temp is always a risk...
so getting out the tiny bits that create pressure & more pain...
is not easy...
and if meat is involved... it's been a major undertaking...
so I'll be glad to have the crown glued on...
now, if I can manage to find my calm, tranquil place...
and stay there...
impervious to the anxiety attack that "basement cat" will throw at me...
all will be well...

Being a person who has half the value of their estate in gold in her mouth, I can totally sympathize. Temp crowns terrify me too. Not knowing how it will feel if what remains of your tooth gets out into the air! But, my dentist glues them on extra tight. I have never lost a temp that he did, but my husband has had an awful time keeping his temp crowns in place (different dentist). My dentist had to break one temp crown apart with the drill to remove it, he glued it on so tightly!
I've had problems with some temps by a different dentist...mine is very good...especially considering my tendency towards panic attacks...
all went very smoothly...
no shot... no pain...
besides the usual stuff, that is...
so now my long dental ordeal is over...
for a while at least...
and it doesn't ache like the temp did ! :D
Good to hear - now go have a steak or something in celebration - if you can beat Molly to it!
How's Mackie doing?
...he's just eaten again and seems much more himself...
it's not over... but it looks so much better than just 24 hours ago...
thanks so much for your concern...
I appreciate it... :D
