Brushing teeth doesn't hurt but gum above where they did treatment for cavity is very tender. Hurts when I brush:(

I'm gonna confess this: I had stopped brushing my teeth for 6 months. Why? I don't have an answer. So, that's probably why I ended up with so many cavities. I am now back to brushing.

Teeth look A LOT better.
 
My bottom teeth hurt. I have three canker sores inside my mouth. And I have to go back to the DDS on Thursday.

This sucks.
 
Had to postpone DDS apt t'il next Friday because canker sores are so bad.....they hurt like hell. Been putting that cank-aid medicine on but only helps for a little while.

And I keep forgetting to take the antibiotic.
 
Still NOT done with DDS have 3 more cavities and have yet to go back. Probably putting it off cuz teeth don't hurt. I'm the last one I take care of these days. Unless I'm in agony.
 
I haven't been to a dentist in years. ANY doctor visit is a fight trigger waiting to happen, so I make it c...

Eagle.........you are like me. My PTSD is somewhat related to medical and abuse (Abuse which caused medical). So ANYTHING to do with drs sends me into chaos. BUT I had a terrible accident in Jan and it all went to shit. Dental , medical, etc......I live in pain because I CANNOT GO BACK. I did for a while and it was so much trauma that now I am in a place I cannot understand.

I had many injuries and things are not healing and I am actually more amenable to ending my life than going back to them. It is that bad. And I have family who loves me. I have a therapist but it is not helping. I have been in the GOWN and the Dr came in and I jumped up and left with my clothes in hand. I am serious. Twice.

I am not actively suicidal (well, I am , but I will go to ER if I have to. Please don't be triggered.....I will save myself) but it's way way too much. I am glad I am not hte only one.
