Re: sensitive teeth at 2 weeks

[Guest guest]

Hi Pam.,

I am sorry I have not spoken to you for a while, my brother has come

over for a visit and they are staying with us so its been vey busy. My

teeth have been killing me, I feel like I have a toothache all day

long, my surgeon said its because I am getting my feeling back and

because they have changed my wires in my braces that they are pulling

my teeth back into aligment after surgery. I did have a really bad day

yesterday, so I just vegged out watching TV all day. The kids are on

school holidays for two weeks, so at least I don't need to get up

early and rush around getting them ready for school. I have a 7 year

old and a 3 year old, both boys. How are you going with the dribbling?

I have none at the moment which is good, even though my numbness still

bothering me as I talk funny, but I can now feel all the side of my

face, the only numbness is in the tip of my nose, cheeks, top lip and

partly of my bottom lip and chin. Everydy I am feeling more and more

and with that I am getting a little more pain, but the toothache is

the worst. I was on pain killers all day yesterday, Now I know what

Dennis was talking about, with numbness you hardly have any pain, but

with feeling you get lots of pain, but I prefer to have pain than

numbness.

Hope you have a lovely day. Thinking of you...:-)

Hi ,

Sounds like me, painful teeth.....perhaps then the sensitivity is a

good thing - we sound like we are on the same healing pattern. I've

been very lucky and not had to get the kids ready in the mornings

yet as I've had my mother-in-law, and now my mother come to help.

The drooling has gotten alot better, but not gone completely.

I hope your kids are being good for you during this time. I find

that mine were a good distraction for me for the past couple weeks.

Take care, keep me posted on your recovery!

Hi , I was reading up on neurosensory disturbance problems

after surgery, and tooth sensitivity is indication of a good

recovery. So....bring on the tooth-aches!

Hi Pam,

I was about to post about this very topic until I saw your post!

I'm at eight weeks with increased sensitivity every day, it feels

like I'm continously biting into an ice cream cone. It's especially

tough to brush, especially one particular tooth. I'm a little

worried about such sensitivity and pain so late but feel better

after reading your post - it's a good sign. Will ask my surgeon

about it when I see him tomorrow,

Hi,

I had surgery 3 weeks ago, and some of my teeth are very sensitive

especially to cold food.... I just put it down to the nerves recovering

from surgery... hopefully it won't last eh?

Hi Pam,

How are you going today? How are the kids? I took the kids out to

the movies today and by the time I got home I was exhausted. I have

started to have a little bit of feeling on my bottom lips, but its

weird.

How come you had the jaw widened 3 years ago and did not have the

other jaw operation at the same time?

You are right as the look thing its really psycological. I did not

like it for the first couple of weeks, its only in the last few days

I have come to terms with it.

I hope you are feeling better and stronger yourself. How is your

eating going?

Loves & hugs

Hi , things are well, I'm alot stronger but tire out easily, as

I'm sure you do. I've been very spoiled with the help I've gotten,

but it's been a good excuse to have Grandma come and help out with

the kids, and the kids love having her here. She basically buses

them to school and back.

For my previous surgery, I had a very narrow upper jaw. The surgery

is to put a small cut in the bone, then over the next 2 months you

crank an appliance that was previously put in your mouth and it

opens your upper jaw by 1/4 mm/day. The bone fills in gradually. I

had my jaw widened by about 1 cm. Aside from having a huge gap in

my from teeth for 6 months, the outcome of this was the best part of

my whole experience. I had a very narrow upper jaw and my tongue

didn't really fit in the roof of my mouth and I lisped, so it was

noticeably different for me to have it wider. Supposedly your upper

face gets numb with this surgery too, but I didn't experience any of

that (lucky me). This procedure was done before the braces were

even put on.

Eating seems to be going well, but I see myself getting a little

tired of my food routine soon - oh well, it won't be forever. How's

your eating? Have you lost more weight, or are you managing to keep

it on? Glad to hear you are getting some feeling back. I have

started getting a bit of feeling on one side of my lip, but not the

other, there's a portion where it's still as numb as before - I hope

this isn't my spot that I won't regain any feeling. (I worry too

much, and I'm not very patient). Your lucky you can kiss your kids,

I can't get my lips together to do that yet :-(o)

Take care,

Pam

Hi Pam,

I am also getting sick of the food. I am getting hungrier and I am

just wanting to bite into something yummy, don't care what. I am

also craving chocolate and cakes ( I don't usually eat much

normally).

My parents have now gone back home, so I have been left by myself. I

am finding it ok, but because we have school holidays at the

moment,the kids are getting sick of being home.Like you I get too

tired very quickly. Just going out to do the grocery shopping is a

huge task. I feel ok at home though.

Do you feel more numb first thing in the morning?. I sleep with this

special pillow which is like spleeping on three pillows, but I still

find first thing in the morning I am more numb and swollen.

The bands are also cutting my gums, thank god I still can't feel

them 100%. I asked the doctor about removing them and I have to put

up with them for at least another 4 weeks. " Can't wait " .

Have a wonderfull day, take care,

Hi Pam,

I had some chocolate last night with mashmellows, It was hard to

just suck without chewing, but managed.

I am finding also I am more swollen in the mornings, but slowly we

are getting there. the swelling has really not gone down that much

in the last couple of days, I am seeing the doctor on tuesday so se

what He has to say. My molars are hurting me though. the braces are

really pulling them as they have to move them and I am finding a lot

of discomfort.

Have you got bands in your mouth. Mine are hurting and giving me a

jaw ache, may be I am talking too much. I find it now that my

parents have gone back home I can;t take my night pain killers as my

3 year old has decided of late that 4.00am is a good time to get up

this days. A bit hard to handle at the moment.

I have posted some photos under , just before the operation and

after. Let me know what you think.

Take care,

Wow - look at you! You look great. Everyone's so brave to have

pictures taken, I haven't had any taken so far! I can't get my

mouth together, it sort of hangs open - which my OS told me to do

until things heal up a bit. Maybe on Monday when I go see him I'll

get new instructions.

I have bands on my teeth right now, not banded shut, just 2 bands.

If I talk too much my jaw hurts too. My teeth still tingle, my chin

is tingling/hurting like mad - which is sort of a good feeling

because it means there's life down there.

Poor you with a 3-yr old night-owl. My 5-yr old is also a night owl

but I've trained her to climb in on her Dad's side of the bed. I do

remember when she was younger though, when she got up in the wee

hours, she was up and did not go back to sleep. You must be so

tired. This is when you must resort to videos for the kids so you

can get some rest - guilt-free. And call on your friends for play-

dates, which you can repay later. I am taking extra strength

tylenol at night, which works for me, but wears off after 4 hours so

I have to get up in the middle of the night to take it again.

I felt very good today, first day of energy and feeling a bit more

normal.

Thanks for posting pictures, maybe I will post one too.

Hi ,

I hope you don't mind me butting in here, but your pictures look

really great! You can see the difference in allignment especially

on day 14, as the swelling has come down a lot. I mean, I am sure

you still feel really swollen, and I am sure you are, but it isn't

really obvious swelling that people who don't know you would be

observant of. I don't know if I am saying this right! lol What I

am saying is that you look great!

It has been a long time since I had a three year old running around,

but I definately feel for you on getting up at 4 AM. Hopefully this

will resolve too! lol

Good luck with your appointment on Tuesday.

Hugs,

Fran

Hi Fran,

I don't mind you butting in at all. I love reading your emails. You

are great. Thank you for the compliment. I am getting use to the new

look, even though when I took the photos I dont know whether it is

because I am numb I feel more swollen than what I really am. I do

like the extra swelling at the moment as the same as Pam I have lost

a few wrinkles and people are commenting I look younger. I had a

very long thin face before the op.

I have only taken a couple of profile photos, that's huge. It does

not look like me at all. I will post them into the system so you can

have a look, because I had such a huge overbite ( 15mm) I looked

like goofy. the braces did a wonderful job of reducing my overbite

to 7mm, but the problem was that my top and bottom jaw looked too

far back giving me that long and anorexic look ( if you know what I

mean) lolololo.

Thank you again for your flattering remarks. I will keep reading

your postings. Take care. Love & hugs,
