Outcome of Dentist appointment

[Guest guest]

Well I finally went to the dentist yesterday and it wasnt nearly as

bad as I thought it was going to be. Mom made the appointment and

told them I hadnt been to a dentist in a while and all I wanted done

was my wisdom teeth looked at. She also explained breifly about EDS

to them. Well I get there and I know the one receptionist. I had

went to school with her. So we talked for a few minutes and she

told me to sit down and they would be out for me shortly. Well the

other receptionist just turns to her and says " Just becasue you know

her doesnt mean we know her. You have to fill out these forms " . It

was actually pretty funny. I filled out the form to the best of my

abilities. Those things are actually fairly complicated to fill

out! I mean 'Do you have an illness requireing surgery?' would EDS

count since I have had my knees done? 'Do you bruise and / or bleed

abnormally / easily' Well I bruise easy but have no bleeding

problems! Oh well.

I went into the little room with the chair and got 'comfortable'

lol. The dental assistant came in and talked with me and put that

little bib thing on and asked a few questions about the forms I

filled out. Then the dentist came in and started looking at my

wisdom teeth. Well my top right has no where to go so it is coming

out the side of my gum towards my cheek. The bottom left one he say

was trying to do something but couldtn. I then went for xrays and

found out that me two bottom ones where horizontally impacted and

the top left one was diagonaly impacted (towards the other teeth) so

I have to get all four at asap.

He gave me a Rx for an antibiotic which I am really hating right

now. He put me on amoxicillan for about 8 days. That has brought

about me feeling like crap as antibiotics generally do. Feel like

I am on the verge of a sinus infection (which I think was brought

aboutby the last batch of meds but wasnt cured as it was only 3 days

worth) so maybe this longer batch will work better for that. Also

my teeth are hurting so much more no than they did before. I have

been taking the asprin equivalent of a T1. Taking like 2 every four

hours lately .

Well I go on August 9th for the appointment with the oral surgeon.

According to the receptionist you can be in within a week if you

have it done in the office and 2 weeks if its in the hospital. Dad

called the oral surgeons office yesterday to see if we could scedule

an appt so I didnt have it done so close to school (they were

booking august 31st for hospital) and found out they can do generals

in the office. So hopefully I should be getting them out soon.
