Oh My Aching Teeth...

I have always had a very high pain tolerance...I had all my wisdom teeth pulled at one time...just so I wouldn't have to pay when I was too old for coverage...I was 17 and went out that same night...barely any meds.


I had 2 of my babes at home, without any meds, and 1 in hospital without any meds...2 of them I had an epidural, and it was really only the last one that I truly needed it with.


I am pretty strong, I am pretty brave...lol...but for some reason, as I get older, I am finding that I am not as eager to do certain things...

Like rollercoasters...I used to love these, I even worked at Canada's Wonderland for 2 years and got a free pass out of the deal...Now? Now I am ok with the lazy river and watching my kids enjoy the rides instead...

I know!! What is up with that???

Another thing I am not as eager about is visiting the dentist for myself. I find that maybe this is because as parents, our kids are often put first. They have all visited the dentist and had their teeth taken care of...

And now, I am having some tooth pains...I think it is because I consume WAY too many sugary drinks...(and yes, I know better)

I think I am going to have to make a trip to the dentist...I just have a hard time finding one I like. There was one we went to in our area once and it was almost like going to a spa...and if I could afford the extras, I would go there...

If I lived in Toronto, I would probably go to Royal York dental practice, I have only heard good things about them and they have a pretty nice setup too...

How do you go about finding a dentist when you are looking for yourself?

The Toothless Wonder!!

Pooky had two of her teeth pulled yesterday. After dealing with Cutie Pie and her extractions, I was prepared for the worst.

After yesterdays appointment, I am seriously wondering if Cutie Pie has some kind of anxiety disorder...

Cutie Pie was 6 or 7 when she had her teeth pulled. It took a few of us to hold her down so they could finish the job. At that point I didn't realize that we could have knocked her out...which may have been the better way around it all, but man oh man...I think they could hear her throughout all of our city here.

Fast Forward to yesterday, Pooky is actually excited!! She had an infection in her gums and they had to pull the 2 teeth that were affected by it. She laid in the chair, as though she was being fed grapes, smiling, all the while, they are pulling out her 2 teeth, one and then the other, right away.

She didn't flinch, or cry, or blink or even make a noise. She just laid there calm as could be...

Then she chewed the gauze like it was bubble gum...nowhere near the bleeding (which stopped really quickly). The first thing she said was "Now I can get my 2 dollars!!"

This morning she was so excited to have a toonie...she can't wait to spend it!! The first picture is the best one...because this last picture shows what she asked for for breakfast...can you see it? Yeah, I am a mean mom and said NO WAY!! Her mouth is becoming our biggest asset, we are almost at her limit for the year...darn tight teeth!!
