Life Dental experiences with O.City - Page 18

Had a pretty interesting day today at the office. Morning was pretty normal, drill and fill, check hygiene, extract a tooth etc. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

Pretty normal lunch. Trolled around on CP, ate an apple and a handful of wheat thins.

Then the afternoon hit.

I see inmates from the county jail here in town if they have a tooth ache or something, sheriff or deputy will call up and bring them up in shackles and the whole bit. It's not big deal, most of them are just happy to get out of pain and it's not a problem. So dude comes in, my assistant goes in to ask the normal "which tooth is bothering you, let me get an xray, blah blah". I was in the lab doing something so I wasn't really paying attention. She comes in and says "doc, you will need to come look at something" to which I responded "he need a tooth out, which tooth is hurting"?

"All of them". Huh, ok, weird response but lets go check it out. Sure enough, continued meth use pretty much causes things to not go so well intraorally, so he was pretty much decayed out and most teeth were broken off to the gumline (google meth mouth if you want to see it, i'm not messing with photos). Asked if I could extract all 26 teeth he had left in the 30 minute block we had on the schedule for him.

I laughed, said "nah, which one hurts the worst, we'll take that out". He pointed to one, I numbed it up, used an elevator to take it out, about 30 seconds worth of pressure and it was pretty lose. 2 teeth next to it are super mobile and infected (which starts draining as I get this one out, that smelt nice) so I told him he was getting 2 free extractions since he was already numb in that area and they were loose and I was right there, no harm no foul.

It's always fun when we see the inmates, the Sheriff comes up and sits in the room with them all serious, then when I come in the room we talk about hunting or why the Chiefs always break hearts or something.

He breaks down and starts crying thanking me, that he already felt better (if you saw the amount of infection I drained, you'd see why) and asked if he could make an appointment for when he got out. "Sure, how long you think you'll be in this predicament".

"I figure 4 or 5 years, you scheduling ahead that far yet"? Told him nah, just take care of himself and come see me when he gets out.

Next patient is an amish guy (we have a fairly big amish community near us), super nice guy, needs a crown. Asks if he can barter instead of pay, I ask what is in it for me, said he'd bring me a dozen eggs every week for 6 months (they have chicken barns or something) or I could have a quarter of one of the cows they're butchering. Sold, eggs and beef for a crown, sign me up.

Only problem with that is he scheduled an appointment for himself, but brought 4 other family members who all needed work done.

So we had a waiting room full of inmates and Amish this afternoon. Thought that might be a good name of a band or something.

I think I may have figured out what the hell is causing all the pain in the site of the extraction. It seems a shard of tooth/bone was left in there after the extraction and is currently making it's way out of the gum.

I've been taking regular photos of the inside of my mouth as it has gone through the healing process. As of yesterday I was feeling something of a lump but today it seems to have broken through the newly forming gum.

Spoiler!

Leave it be and let it come out on it's own or should I make an appointment with the dentist that did the initial extraction?

I remember when I had my wisdom teeth removed when I was 19 I had a shard of tooth come out the side of my gum and I reached in and ripped it out via fingernail. I want to reach in there and snag it with a pair of sterilized tweezers but I just can't get a good angle to see what the hell I am doing in there.

/just checked and the dentist's shop is closed due to Covid-19. Fantastic.

Damn, wish you were in the Wichita area. I cracked my top back molar on the right side the other night (so bad that I can feel the gap of the crack with my tongue). The night it happened it hurt so bad I almost called a dentist here in town to see if he would meet me at his office during the night to pull it, but I toughed it out and finally was able to fall asleep for an hour or two. Strangely enough, when I woke up it was completely pain free. I figured I'd just roll with it until this stupid COVID19 shit gets over with (since all the dentists around here are closed for everything except emergencies), but it's been acting up here and there so I may just have to try and get an appt. set up during the week to have him meet me to pull it. I know the recommendation is to always try to keep your tooth, but the guy I sit next to at work got his back molar pulled like 15 years ago and said it hasn't effected him a single bit and I really don't want to drop the coin on a root canal and crown (if it's even possible). Not gonna lie, I'm a candy ass when it comes to the dentist so I'm not looking forward to it but I'm told that once I get the gas and the shot, I won't even really feel anything. I hope that's right.

It’s not abnormal to have some bone work it’s way out. If it’s painful you may wanna see it you can get someone to take it out. Usually it resolves in its own

If it’s a second molar and you aren’t missing any other teeth, it wouldn’t be the worst thing to have it taken out. You won’t really miss it

Watching someone get a dental implant always gives me the creeps, screwing into the gums and shit.

You can actually immediately load those if you get the right torque and eat on it that night.

There's no "feeling" in bone so it's not as much of an issue.

Do you have to put people under for this? That's like 2k a tooth isnt it?

Frosty · 04-23-2020, 11:42 AM

O.city, do you do implants? What is the cost for one verses a root canal and crown?
