Is XemaSab here?

[billyskank]

I haven't seen her today.

[billyskank]

1. Kick

for Xema

[billyskank]

2. Kick again

No Xema? :(

[NV Whino]

3. She was here earlier

suffering greatly from pulled wisdom teeth. She probably flaked out on meds right now.

[billyskank]

4. Thanks!

I just saw her in another thread.

[XemaSab]

5. I'm here!

I showed up!

And FWIW, my impacted wisdom teeth are still right where they belong: in the back of my mouth!

[billyskank]

6. Yay!!

:bounce: :loveya:

No need for any nasty extractions?

[XemaSab]

7. Not today

Every time I go to the dentist, they're totally appalled that I haven't had them out yet, but if it ain't broke....

[billyskank]

8. They only want you for your teeth!!!

:D

[XemaSab]

12. It's probaby true

Dentists are lame. Time before last when I went, they told me I had a GIANT cavity that needed filling, then the last time I went I went to a different dentist and he said he couldn't see a thing. :shrug:

[billyskank]

15. Yeah I went to see one last week

she wants to restore three fillings, which will sting me to the tune of 300 quid. x(

[XemaSab]

17. That's highway robbery!

:o

[billyskank]

18. I couldn't agree more

But I doubt I'll find better.

For some reason, the NHS doesn't seem to extend to dentists or opticians, and anything they do costs an arm and a leg. :(

[XemaSab]

19. It's a fact

:(

[NV Whino]

9. oops, sorry

got you confused with someone else.

:spank:

[billyskank]

10. To err is human.

:)

[NV Whino]

11. It was the Xs that got me confused.

[XemaSab]

13. Who did you confuse me with?

[NV Whino]

14. Xultar

[XemaSab]

16. Interesting....

I think xmas74 would be a better choice.

[NV Whino]

20. I was so horrified

at her experience I wasn't paying attention to the name.

[XemaSab]

21. I need to have 2 of mine out

But the dentist says they can't take 2, they have to take all 4. Like, wtf?

Also, my mom had all 4 of hers out and she was barfing for a month.

No fun.

[billyskank]

22. That sounds like grade A bs to me!

In 2004 I had just one pulled!

They may not want to do 2, but can't is another matter altogether...

Anyway, you don't want four wisdom teeth pulled out on the same day! That's just brutal. You want to chew on the other side of your mouth while it heals, if you can.

[XemaSab]

23. Yeah, that's what I thought too...

And they said I had to have all 4 out because otherwise when I chewed the top teeth would make the holes left by the bottom teeth get infected. :shrug:

But on edit, even though the bottom teeth are impacted and the teeth on the top are a bit tight, I don't see why I can't live with it. :shrug:

[billyskank]

25. If it's causing you no bother

I don't see why you can't live with it either. Get them pulled when they become a problem, otherwise not, I'd say.

[XemaSab]

26. That's what I'm thinking

Why are we talking about dentistry? :shrug:

[billyskank]

27. I don't know

:)

[XemaSab]

28. What else can we chat about?

:shrug:

[billyskank]

29. Very little - I am going to bed in a minute

:hug:

[XemaSab]

30. Heinous

:(

[billyskank]

31. I know, this is bogus

I'm sorry. :(

[XemaSab]

32. Too right it is.

It's just another thing you'll have to make up for. :D

[billyskank]

33. I look forward to it

:D

24. That appears to be a load of ________ (fill in the blank) to me

I had all four of mine out at the same time only because I knew I would never go back if they didn't all come out at the same time. Oral surgeon gave me some codeine and said to take it if I began to feel pain. For four days I woke up just long enough to pop another pill, sip a little soup and then crashed again. After day four, I realized what I was doing and started taking aspirin instead. I looked like a chipmunk for two weeks, but I managed to stay awake.
