Its no big secret that you are supposed to be especially aware of your teeth when you are pregnant. So I was no exception.
I got an infection in one of my teeth. Don't ask me how because I have no idea, I brush and floss and use listerine but I still got one and it was a MOTHER of pain.
So today I went to Le dentist and they decided it needed to be extracted and replaced with an implant. Ok... I can handle that... NOT When they started pulling they quickly but not quick enough realized I was in serious pain and given the amount of (pregnancy safe) novacaine I was given there was no reason I should have been feeling anything... they gave me more shots of Novacaine... Still feeling it, and then more shots. Still felt it. They gave me enough Novacaine to numb a horse and it did NOTHING. Wanna know why?? The infection in the tooth was counter acting with the Novacaine and preventing the numbing effect to take place. I felt everything. It hurt so bad I cried. The dentist wanted to cry because there was nothing he could do at that time to fix the pain I was in.
So after being given an ungodly amount of antibiotics and tylenol 3 I am now going back on Monday to have the issue fixed.
