| | I went to the dentist yesterday
She tried to put some more stuff just overtop of it. But she had to find out where the pain was (which meant screaming and gagging etc)
Fish held my hand and patted it while I looked wild-eyed at him
I feel so traumatised by THIS WHOLE THING
I feel like something has died inside of me. I know that sounds so freakin stupid about going to the dentist, but........
I dunno, the last time I took some antipsychotic I got aggro, and again this time.... today I have been all over the place. Antipsychotics are the only thing left that I can take to calm me down, and if I don't have them anymore........... :( I don't really want to think about it.
I just feel kinda caved in.
It would have been alright, but I am still in more pain than before I went to the dentist. It was only occassional before the dentist. Now I cannot bite on the right side of my mouth. And I cannot drink hot or cold things. Everything has to be luke-warm.
I need a full root canal so there will be no more pain. As if I can do that now after two awful times at the dentist. I'm going to ask my GP if I can go to the hospital and have general anaesthetic and get a root canal done. Dental work is done very rarely through the NZ public health system these days but they do treat SOME people, and hopefully I will qualify because I am simply too traumatised to go back to the dentist again. Ever. I can go and be knocked out and have everything taken out and then wake up again though. I know I can do that because I had my tonsils out about 18 months ago and though I was terrified, I woke up and I was alive and everything was okay. I didn't have to 'be there' for any of it.
It's funny but after this I find out most of Fish's family have sore teeth - AFTER having fillings. What the hell?? Are the dentists giving people fillings when they should be giving them root canals?? I guess it makes them more money though, if they fill a tooth which doesn't work and then the patient has to come back and pay for a root canal as well as the filling.
I feel so upset about this whole thing
I wish so much I had never gone near the dentist. I thought I would get a filling and everything would be okay. I had no idea I would end up far worse off than before I went to the dentist.
