I saw my new dentist... He MADE
sense and he was the first dentist that did. I seriously need to
buy that dental hygienist a Starbucks card for sending me there.
So I have a gum infection not a jaw infection. I seriously did not know that was a THING. My lower gum is all weak and pathetic and whatnot and he gave me a bunch of home remedies including stabbing my jaw with a toothpick dipped in bleach and a special mouthwash and stuff.
Getting supplies TODAY then I am going to have at my WEAK pathetic jaw like a crazy person because if this doesn't work I have to have GUM grafting which sounds EXACTLY like something I might not be able to be awake for and Advil MIGHT not work for.
Every dentist I meet who I tell about the No Drugs thing and Awake thing looks at me with mad props in their eyes.
The dentist also speculated on like "how I lost my teeth." I told him "Nope, had 24 teeth out and bone shaving lithium etc.
It's not like my mouth or dentures are all terrible either, he said they were fine and didn't even want to clean them. He said I was the Mistress of Denture bad luck, though.
