slosh down the pepper!

a TEETHING problem!

My tooth hurts recently. And the problem is I don't know which is the one except that it lies on the right side of my jaw. *Gasp* Maybe it is TEETH. It comes on and off. There was one day where it hurt so badly that it became difficult to bite properly. The situation was exacerbated when my left side of the mouth was plagued with an ulcer on swollen gums which were right behind my crooked wisdom tooth. There was also one night where it hurt till I couldn't sleep well. Now there's still a tingling pain. Luckily, the left side had healed.

I can't bear the thought of seeing my dentist though I supposedly overcome the fear early last year (or was it 2004?). It was in April (either 2004 or 2005) that I went to fix up a crown when the filling loosened and came in place of it, a huge hole! From then onwards, I brushed my teeth regularly, twice a day! With toothpaste. Various kinds of brands that boast different effects. That didn't last long. Now, I try to brush as often, sometimes with toothpaste, sometimes without. Sometimes at 1pm when I woke up and had lunch, sometimes at 5pm when I forgot to do it after lunch, and sometimes at 2-3am when I forgot to do it at 5pm and decided to wait till after dinner but forgot again. I am glad I got back to work. This means I have 5 days in a week to brush my teeth regularly. :p

Back to the part why I was afraid of the dentist... I kinda blame it on my parents who did not force upon me to brush my teeth regularly when I was a kid. Ever since I attended school, I had been a regular patron at the school's in-house dental clinic. I still remember the lady who wore a nurse-like uniform. She would pry open my mouth, fight with my tongue, and get in all kinds of funny, scary-looking equipment onto my teeth. I was blessed with a set of teeth that didn't subject me to braces, yet I was cursed with a set that decays and turns yellow so easily! Oh yes! I forgot to mention that I am even to 'abstain' from general anaesthetic agents (read previous post) lest more mast cells degranulate and I will sink into the possibility of having an anaphylactic emergency! So means I probably can't remove my wisdom teeth! *wide-eyed*

My whitening sensodyne is running out... I should go get one tube of gum-strengthening Parogencyl.. and maybe a bottle of Listerine too.

The wind blew strongly last evening and IT DIDN'T RAIN! What a blasted night. It wasn't like this last sunday. I got to ecp despite the strong howling wind thinking that the sky's still clear with not much grey clouds. 5 steps into the running track, and I sensed big raindrops falling on my head! Had a slip while trying to zap through the rain to home.

This evening had better be a nicer one without misleading signals. Yup, this entry is once again, done in the office :)
