“Picture Pages, Picture Pages, Time to get your Picture Pages, Time to get your crayons and your pencils…”. Except that I’m not drawing anything for this post. But it’s a story in pictures none the less.
A tooth. It cracked. Saturday evening.
Not that you can see it in this crappy picture,
But that tooth is wiggling in that picture.
It was painful.
Why is it that when a tooth injury occurs, it’s always on a weekend?
Waiting until Monday really sucks.
I managed to focus the pain away,
With the help of a lot of ibuprofen.
Then a large chunk of tooth broke off Sunday evening.
It was even more painful.
Ibuprofen only does so much.
There were sensitive parts exposed.
I made lots of sad faces.
Even while I was waiting for hot-dentist-man to see me I had sad face.
Poor sad face.
X-rays were shot through me.
Hot-dentist-man declared the tooth must go!
I don’t like pain. Or needles. (Ironic, eh?)
Then hot-dentist-man gave me nitrous.
And I wasn’t as sad anymore.
Even when he stuck needles in my mouth several times.
After the numby stuff kicked in,
And with a few quick tugs,
Hot-dentist-man removed what was left of the tooth from my head.
But I was slightly distracted.
The chair was tilted back and hot-dentist-man was standing in his scrubs.
And his basket-of-plenty was mashed up against my shoulder.
If I had a picture of his basket-of-plenty, I would post it here.]
I was sent home with care instructions and pain medication.
The result of which kept me in a groggy distracted state on the couch.
The kittehs used me as a warm bed.
Now I have a hole where the tooth used to be.
The hole must be filled!
I will find out about replacement options in January when I go in for my checkup with hot-dentist-man.
What’s really bizarre?
I find the whole situation ironic.
I dressed as the tooth fairy for Halloween once.
Until next time...
Uggh!!! Why why WHY did I come to your blog today??
Teeth things really creep me out! Teeth and bone things.
UGGH!
Because my blog is full of awesomeness, and you couldn’t resist. 😉
And don’t forget about clowns.
I needs me a Hot-dentist-man with basket-of-plenty!
He’s not my actual dentist. At least not until now. He’s the Husbear’s dentist. I guess we’ll have to share.
Did the tooth fairy bring you a quarter?
No. Hot-dentist-man kept it. I think the tooth fairy wouldn’t have given me anything for it anyway.
What were you doing Saturday when the crack happened? I’m really curious. I have my suspicions…
Bizarrely enough, I was eating a donut. With sprinkles. I have no idea how it happened, but it just did.
Your sad face is soooo cute!!
Well thank you. 🙂
It doesn’t always happen on the weekend. It also happens during vacations.
That would also suck. Although, usually some strange dentist can be found in case of an emergency. Usually. But it still ruins the trip.
The tooth fairies around your parts are scary… I like the pliers detail…
It’s about the only way fairies can pass in these parts unaccosted…
You are just the cutest man when you make your sad face.
I had 4 wisdom teeth removed, and the Dentist was a hottie in scrubs. It was distracting how hot he was. I tried not to stare.
I’m well practiced with the sad face… 😉
I don’t remember anything about when I had my wisdom teeth removed. I was told however I took a swing at the nurse and they had to restrain me. So I’m assuming it did not go well.
I had two other molars removed about 3 years ago. I remember those did not go well at all. For anyone involved.
I never had any problem with the dentist.
Just as I was getting gassed… I heard them trying to wake up someone in another room. You could hear a loud slapping noice and a named yelled out. I ask if they slap your face to wake you up. I found my comment very funny at the time….I blame the gas. The next thing I knew I was at home on the couch. My partener took a pic to of me out of it at the dentist office when he was just about to take me home. I look like a fat little drunk passed out.
Ouch. I’ve had more than my share of tooth emergencies, on Friday evenings, weekends, AND when on vacation.
I’m just lucky that way. 😉
Glad to hear you got it taken care of AND had a hot man ‘working’ on you. That always helps.
I feel your pain. I did that a decade back, but actually swallowed half the tooth and didn’t know it. But that thing that goes over the nose? However they pumped that shit through almost ripped my heart out of my chest.
At least you have a kitty to keep you company.
You had a reaction to the nitrous?
Kitteh only kept me company until she was warm enough, then left me to do more cat-like things….
I’ve been following all your slaughters on FB
I hope this is mending soon enough.
It is mending well. I still haven’t attempted to drink from a straw yet, or have any alcohol. I’m being a little over-cautious, I guess.
A man with tattoos AND a missing tooth living in Arkansas – how unusual and rare! LOL At least the Kittehs were a comfort.
I’m going for that real redneck look for when I start doing porn…..
I hope everything goes well with the pain. I’ve had all four wisdom teeth pulled at separate times over the past two years. Any extraction is terrible, but thank goodness for the painkillers!
I only, knock on wood, needed the painkillers the first day. Which is unusual for me. I have taken ibuprofen a little bit more than normal though for the last few days.
