Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 Hi Bob I was wondering how you were doing. This was your second surgery right? So it seems that second time was lucky. Thank goodness. I'm so happy for you. As for the shaving question I'm afraid that I can't help you on that but I can tell you that I do get shock waves to my bottom teeth every once in a while and I just think it's everything reawakening nerve wise. Still I wouldn't definitely flag this to your doctor on Thursday. Also, if you're using an electric razor that might be making the shocks worse. Try a regular razor if you aren't already. Anyway, good luck with the dewiring and desplinting on Thursday. Let us know how it goes!

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I meant definitely talk about it with your surgeon if you're concerned.

Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 It's probably just your nerves waking up (a good thing!), but yeah, check w/your surgeon. Are you getting your braces off? So soon? (I can dream!) Luna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 28, 2005 Report Share Posted June 28, 2005 I'd say way too soon to be worried about this. But your doc (surgeon) is the best one to talk with about it. I think your teeth have been " shocked. " Mine are really unhappy, still, with electronic toothbrushes, although I'm trying because my docs have recommended them. Don't volunteer for a root canal until somebody who knows his or her stuff tells you you need one!

Guest guest Posted June 29, 2005 Report Share Posted June 29, 2005 Weird, my bottom teeth are doing EXACTLY the same thing. If I touch them, nothing. But when I wash my chin I get a shocking (pain?) sensation through those bottom teeth. It is really hard to explain, but I know exactly what you mean. I'm not sure how to explain it to the docs...let me know how you think you will explain it to them. I hope it means the nerves are waking up, but why the weird sensations. I dunno.
