I noticed my gums were becoming more and more sensitive, which in this case my husband and I began to look for a Dentist. Now let's back track a bit... Adult life = adult responsibilities. I never really had to worry about making any type of health appointments. When I was covered under my parents plans, they made the appointments, when I got my own health plan at 21 years, well I ended up moving up to Washington State to be with my husband. And when we were apart of Military coverage well, it was easy and not needed. This past year, I had decided to withdraw from dual coverage and primarily moved to my husband's health plan (since it's way better!).
Fast forward to a couple week ago, I was in desperate need of a check-up, and finally after a recommendation my husband booked a time slot with our new dentist. Tuesday the 21st was my visit to be exact! I was quite nervous even though I prefer the dentist over a hospital visit. It went pretty well, they were very nice, and I went home with my prescription.
A week later, gum pain and toothaches. It gotten pretty bad that I could barely talk. So I went back for an emergency visit. Got two new prescriptions. And the next couple days up until now has been a challenge. Pain wise.
I must say, I've never felt much pain as I had within the past 2 weeks than I've had felt in my life. Not to mention I haven't taken as much medication ever as well. I could barely concentrate on anything aside from the discomfort and aches that I feel. I could hardly talk or even get through a shift at work without having to just leave or go into a "zone". It's been a little depressing.
So remember kids and adults, wisdom teeth are not your friend. But a Dentist is! Don't forget to get your check-ups!! I'm awaiting my follow up for next week. I sure wish it were sooner.
P. S. Sorry for the poor blogging/writing. I'm still not 100% focused:-P
