kribuEugh. Dentist. At least there was no major stuff done today after all, as the dentist I was going to has apparently decided to switch jobs from next week and is going to work somewhere at Nõmme, which is on the other side of town and thus not good for me. So he didn't want to start anything today that would take several appointments to get done. Which is sensible.
I am thus also spared of the remaining three appointments I had for January, as the new dentist I was handed over is quite busy in January, so I now have three appointments for February instead.
What happened to the days when one didn't need to have a multitude of wooden, metal and plastic wedges and strips of various kinds and thickness (plus metal clamps) hammered between one's teeth just to fill one cavity?
I was suitably numb by that time, but even so - the sheer force that needed to be used for all that was not pleasant, as it nearly led to me falling off the chair from all the vibration and stuff. And having all of those things pulled out afterwards is even worse.
On the positive side, once the numbness wore off hours later, the tooth seems OK and isn't hurting (I was warned it might hurt a bit the next few days, even if I'm lucky and filling it is enough - he seemed a little doubtful and said root canal treatment might still be needed for that one too, grr - can hope not!).
Training is starting to have an effect - I'm actually starting to understand the principles. Not that I like them, but anyway. I also had a very hard time keeping my eyes open today.
And then I got home and was instantly occupied.
It's hard to type like this!

Date: 10 January 2008 19:30 (UTC)I didn't really even need the dentist to say anything - it looked like a pretty clear case to me as soon as I saw the X-rays. Which was a shock, really! And the dentist then immediately pointed it out. He did say there is no immediate urgency, but that it should be dealt with before it ruins the other teeth.
