Thanks Mandy! I will remember to do that if he hurts me lol.

I went today and took the impressions I thought I was going to throw up...lol yuck it made me gag.. Thats over with. Now I have to wait until Jan. 14th to remove my bridge and extract the three teeth. He is going away the begining of Jan. and my temp. should be back by then. I am taking the antibodics am feeling better. I will continue to take them for about a week. Hopefully the infection doesn't come back.

Thanks for the well wishes

Aww, Gina, I'm so sorry you're having to go through all of this. I hope it goes as smoothly (and painlessly) as possible! Are the antibiotics starting to work now?

Feel better! *hugs*

Gina - you are not alone in gagging. The majority of those receiving the impressions gag.

Often we will receive a case and the prescription says "Unable to obtain good impression as patient is a gagger".

I can't even brush my teeth w/out gagging. So know you are not alone.

Glad you are feeling better.

Sorry for the double post, but couldnt edit this one somehow... it should have read "can not" LOL

Never had to worry about being a gagger...lol, but my older brother is having a hard time with his dentures. Every time he puts them in he gags...not sure what he'll do about it.

Anyway Gina, glad you're feeling better and can put off the procedure until after the first of the year.

I hope you're feeling better Gina. Isn't that impression thing awful? I zone out as soon as he starts working on me. I close my eyes and go off into my own crazy little world.

Do you like your dentist? I think that's important. I really like mine. It helps.

I once had a dentist who had me all set up for root canal or something. He told me then that he'd be right back - he had to do something on another patient. I told him that would be fine, but to be prepared because I was prone to serious anxiety attacks. (I'm not). He was a little annoyed, but finished my work really fast!
