teeth OT

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone, a and ,

Well I had my teeth out and everything went well. It took less than

a half hour and no pain. I thought I was in the clear. I came home and

about two hours later I started to bleed by that night the bleeding was

really bad. Actually I have never seen so much blood. I called and

couldn't get the dentist so I called my primary. He sent me to the

hospital. They took the teeth out the blood and clots filled the

basin. They tried for three hours to stop this bleeding and finally had

to put in more stitches. Which I don't understand why they didn't do it

in the beginning. When the doctor came in he announced to me, he didn't

know what I was doing there because he wasn't a dentist. He got nice

after he saw the problem. We spent most of the night at the hospital.

Now blood pressure is bottoming out, but I know what to do about that.

It happens every time I have to go to the hospital. So I have been on

the couch for the last couple of days.

The bleeding has just stopped, but they don't want me to move my head

around to much. This is scary but getting the teeth out was so easy.

My dil and I couldn't believe how smooth everything went. Little did we

know. Hope everyone has a nice holiday.

Oh, dear! Lynn, that's not the sort of recovery I wished for you. I'm so

sorry you went through all of that and had to be hospitalized, too. Not

fun, I'm sure.

Monitor how your RA is doing over the next couple days and weeks - we'll

have at least one case for the record on whether blood-letting is a good

therapy, LOL!

Seriously, please rest well, and I hope you can enjoy your new smile

very soon.

I'll tell you where to go!

I am so glad that you went to the hospital. I have heard of more

problems with the mouth after dental work then ever before.

I am glad that they got the bleeding stopped and have you on my

prayer list for some extra special prayers.

When are you getting your new teeth?

God bless,

Althea

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Well I didn't expect all that happened. I did tell the dentist there

could be a problem with bleeding. He should have listened to me. Anyway it

is all okay now. I am very happy with the new teeth. Have to say I am glad

it is all over. Now it is just getting to them. Eating is impossible plus

I am afraid of bleeding again. I finally got it to stop. Hope you and the

kids are well.

Hi Althea,

Thank you so much for the prayers. I was very afraid when it was all

happening. I really have never seen so much blood. I have my teeth. They

took the top teeth out and put the new ones right in. They told me the

teeth acts like a band aid.

You mentioned a lot of people having problems after dental work. That

is what the doctor said. He told us, he gets so mad at these dentist for

not leaving an emergency phone with their patients. Anyway I think all is

well now. My blood pressure is even back up, so now it is just getting use

to the teeth.

Hope you are well and were able to enjoy the holiday. Again thank you for

your prayers.

I'm glad the worst is over, Lynn. Yes, the dentist should have listened

to you. I hope you can eat without worrying or pain soon.

We're all fine, thanks. Hope you and your family had a good weekend.

So glad to see your feeling better. My dentist actually works in extra time...I

had three fillings- one pretty deep and he would only do two at a time...because

he was afraid my jaw would get tired or flare. I told him that was not a problem

for most lawyers...but he saw beyond the humor.His brother has had RA for a long

time and Bob is very sensitive to most issues. When I was on blood thinners a

couple of years ago...he was very kind and very cautious. Is this linked to the

tummy problems you have had for so long...just glad to see you are doing better

and that the BP is under control.

Hugs and prayers,

Hi June,

I love my new teeth, even if I did have a time of it. So far I am just on

soup. I am afraid of starting up any bleeding. I see the dentist tomorrow for

a follow up. I am using fixodent. I read on the papers they gave me, not to

use tooth paste to clean the dentures. So I am using the tablets they gave me.

Do you know anything about cleaning the teeth? I would appreciate any help/.

Thank you for your note,

Hi a,

It is so funny you mentioned dentist and no emergency number. That is what

the

doctor in the emergency room said. He told me, he is sick and tired of dentist

being unavailable after they do dental work. What made me mad was this dentist

was

aware of the bleeding problem I could have. I called at five-thirty, got the

answering machine and left a message. Stating I was bleeding, I got no call

back.

However, the next morning when I mentioned the night at the hospital they

called.

That hospital visit did nothing but scare my daughter. We have been that route

before many times. As much as I wanted to go to the U. of P. I am sort of glad

I

did. Just because of the distance. However, maybe they would have listened to

me

better. I don't think this dentist believed that I have this bleeding problem.

I

see him tomorrow. He may remove the stitches or leave them in. I am asking him

to

leave them alone, I don't want anymore problems.

Even after all this I like the teeth. My wonderful DIL told me yesterday I had

a

pretty smile, that made my day.

How you doing with the new home and your health? The move had to be hard on

you. I

hope you have been able to find some good doctors.

Hi ,

No this isn't related to the stomach, thank goodness. That is a whole other

issue. How lucky you were able to find a dentist who understand RA. I told my

dentist I had the RA and just looked at me. He is a good dentist but right now

I feel he didn't listen to me. I told him I had a bleeding problem, I don't

think he took me seriously. I called at five-thirty and told them I was

bleeding. They never called back. But it is behind me now. I am enjoying my

new teeth. Thank you for your kind note. Hope you are feeling well.

Hey ,

We had a nice week end. The kids came over. Laurie made most of the

food since I was on the couch. Things are much better now, I even got to go

out for a walk today. Right now I am just a little angry at the dentist

for not listening to me. , I have never seen so much blood, if he had

listened it wouldn't have been so bad. Anyway I like my new smile.

Hope you are well?

Lynn, the polident tablets or any brand are good but I do use the Dentucreme

made for dentures as well. I have to confess that I am very vain and don't take

my teeth out every night like you are supposed to and without doing this, it is

difficult to keep them as clean as I would like. My dentist said to take them

out every night and put them in water with a tablet but I also noticed the last

time I was there that they sell a special cleaner, so I may pop in and see if it

is something I can use to clean my teeth without the hassle of taking them out.

If it is any good, I will let you know.

Hugs

Are you like my aunt with her little grandkids? She takes her teeth out and

shows them. You should see the look on their faces the first time they see

that! It's not that she looks bad without them, it's the idea that she tells

them their teeth will fall out if they don't brush good and then she pops her

teeth out!

My mom had her teeth pulled last year and she also had severe bleeding. I gave

her some of those blue bed pads to lay on and it was good that I did. The first

week she had a mess. We were really worried. I had my son stay with her. I

don't know how she made it through that. It took her quite a while to get her

new teeth to fit right but she's very happy with them now. I guess your gums

shrink as they heel and that probably makes it easier.

Hi Lynn,glad everything is okay. Soap and water? I don' t think so, we might end

My kids use one of the polident or some similar cleaning products with germ

killer for their retainers. They soak them like dentures and they get really

clean. I have found sometimes they need to use two tablets and hot tap water to

get them really clean.

Hi Becky,

I think the bleeding is over. Of course I am only eating soup right now. I

am afraid of starting it up again plus my gums are very sore. Thank you for all

My mom is 81 and told me, she never sleeps without her teeth, just incase she

dies. She wants her teeth in. I just laughed at her. But I keep my in at

night too, just in case there is a fire or something.

blanket so her brain would react to that. She told me since it was snowing out

they probably took her leg and threw it in the dumpster in the alley behind the

hospital and there was snow on it!

I thought the soap and water was strange. I am sticking with the tablets they

gave me. I am still only eating soup but soup is a big part of my diet anyway.

I still have a little trouble talking but I know this will pass. Thanks for all

fine now, in fact they are hard to get out. I have a terrible gag reflux and to

help with this, the dentist suggested Fixodent or Poligrip. This fixed the

problem of gagging and makes me feel more secure about eating. I love my new

smile now as I am sure you do as well.

You must be a really strong person to go through that. I can't even begin to

imagine what you have been through. Glad the bleeding is over. It's only

uphill from here!

just on soup. I am afraid of starting up any bleeding. I see the dentist

tomorrow for a follow up. I am using fixodent. I read on the papers they gave

me, not to use tooth paste to clean the dentures. So I am using the tablets

they gave me. Do you know anything about cleaning the teeth? I would

appreciate any help/. Thank you for your note,
