Yes, I have all of those problems with the teeth, in fact I have a toothache right now as I am typing this! It is a lower molar, the filling fell out of it and took a huge chunk of tooth with it last week, at the gumline. I have to make an appt. to get it fixed but cannot until my Medicaid kicks in again next month. I have had to have 3 upper teeth pulled in this past year, and I have a partial plate which it took them nearly 5 months to make and get right! Now I have at least 2 lower molars which will have to be removed and likely another lower partial made....the process at this dentist takes forever, drags on for months, because they don't have enough dentists and accept all the Medicaid pts in our county. Hence, even with a bad toothache you cannot get into the dentist for 2 weeks and you just have to put up with the pain! Unless you can pay cash at another dentist and I don't have the money. I would take the lower partial out and just not use it until you can get in to have them adjust it again. btw, although my upper partial, which I've had for about a year now fits well, it is still awkward and uncomfortable after wearing it all day long..but at least it doesn't cause me horrible pain, and it looks good. I feel bad for you...keep trying to get into that dentist. I had an absess once and it was horribly painful, had to take antibiotic for weeks and it took a long time to heal. I hope you get some relief soon. I have to be firm with my dentist office or they just blow me off. |
"MDJunction to me is a life saver... when i first was diagnosed with Scheuermann's Disease i wrote a message to a page i found on google, hoping that they could help me.... you'd never know it but that weird feeling (you know that one where it feels like someone actually cares) came over me when i opened my email next day to find that someone on the other side of the world (at the American Medical Library)had read my message while i was sleeping, and there low and behold was the address to MDJunction.... well it is everything to me, i live it breathe it and love it!!!!! I have found many people who are struggling with similar issues banding together to help each other. It is the best place in the world, and i couldn't think of another place to go to meet so many lovely people....
I had to heal, and that took a long time, then i had to have what was left cleaned. Whitened they are beautiful, then we did all or the impressions 
and then the new teeth come later, well i got my new teeth about 2.5 weeks to 3 wks ago, my upper partial is good to go and the bottom i just cant seem to get them right, well, with partials on the bottom left side of my mouth, the tooth that the partial connects toooo, OMG it hurts so bad and has for 1 wk or so, im now starting to get angry, it hurts baaaaad, im supposed to go back for adjusting last friday actually but it hurt so bad i didnt even call them or get out of bed along with my fms, and the cfs, and the cms, etc..... i now have a bad tooothache. i think it's becoming absested. Oh 
my jaw has been hurting alot also. Anyone else having these problems or is it just little ole me? Get back with me ok?
