My lunch of Pizza Hut and snack of a Snickers bar felt like I was eating razor blades yesterday. It hurt to chew the crust off of my pizza. I love the crust, it is the best part of Pizza Hut's pizza. So instead of enjoying them, they are now treats for the dogs. BOO!
I bought the Snickers bar during halftime at a very cold regional soccer game in Brownstone, MI. The candy bar was stored in the cold concession stand right behind the football/soccer field. Me not thinking the candy bar would like a brick, I took a bite. It hurt and there was pain. Candy bars are supposed to be soft! But being stored in a building without that much heat and the cold temperatures, everything was working against me and my mouth. Damn you Snickers!
I called the dentist today and told them about my mouth. They said that the pain should have subsided by now. Not a good sign. I'm going for a visit 1:15 pm this afternoon. I can't wait for them to tell me that it is infected.
**Update: I went to the dentist this afternoon. He told me that I had dry socket. He put two medicated dresses in the extraction sockets. I have to go back on Friday to have them removed. In the couple of hours that I had them, they are really working. YEA!
Dry socket refers to a condition which my arise after the removal of teeth. Symptoms include a throbbing, radiating pain. This pain may travel to the ear, jaw, teeth, head or throat. This condition will resolve without treatment, however, the pain can be managed through the use of pain relievers and/or with medicated dressings placed in the extraction socket.
