Me Time!

Funz:
I felt so heartache for my son after the GP showed me the swelling.
Ouch! I am procrastinating bringing DD to a specialist for an x-ray to find her 2 missing teeth. Both her top canines are missing. 1 could be impacted as the school dental nurse could feel the tooth in her gum but the other one is totally nowhere to be found in the area where it should have grown.
I googled some images of and treatment for impacted canines and am totally freaked now. :scared:
He suffered for 2 days
The root of the canine is so long.

The GP gave a 5 day course of antibiotics to bring down the swelling. Salt water will be painful. Son told me he feels very much better now. Quite upset with the dentist...the canine tooth was embedded in the gum and caused pain when extracted.
No, salt water is not painful. Not like putting salt on an ulcer! Dissolve 1 tsp of salt in half cup of warm water and hold in the mouth for a while (half a minute-1 minute). It's a very good antiseptic. -
I also use salt water to gargle whenever I have sore throat.
It’s effective. -

I avoid taking antibiotics as I have rather bad reaction to them. I relied on rinsing with the disinfecting rinse and warm salt water to prevent infection. -
the swelling is quite bad after 3 days…paracetamol didn’t help relieve the pain. i asked him to use the disinfecting rinse my dentist recommended.

after taking the antibiotic, he told me he felt much better...that area is not as painful as yesterday. if he has any extra tooth to be extracted in the near future, i am going to request for someone more senior to do so.Janet
