Er, hopefully. I don't really care to dwell on the shenanigans of the past two weeks because frankly it boils down to- "Ow" and "Better now?" I will say that it is frustrating to be in pain and not have your doctor/dentist be able to pinpoint the cause. It made me feel like they thought I was either A) being a big baby lady or B) looking for drugs. As it turns out, teeth grinding on bad dental work can be excruciating SO THERE.
Also, running six miles after a week of sitting on your butt--- hurts. My intention was to take it easy on my first day back but I'm kind of a competitive little jerk and I didn't want to get off the treadmill until the person next to me did, so... you know. I like this kind of pain though. The face kind? Eh, not so much.
Oh yes, and here is a little something to brighten your day:
I've had so many dentists try to get me to do the mouthguard at night. I always end up gagging and/or ripping it out of my mouth.
ReplyDeleteSo, I've tried to chew less gum and it seems to help a little.
Hope your solution works well for you and that you are DONE with the dentist for awhile!
