You can imagine how difficult that must be for my dentist, but he’s thankfully very patient and understanding. When he cleans my teeth, he makes it a point that my tongue doesn’t make contact with any of the metal instruments. When he puts the mirror in my mouth to have a look, he makes sure it stays a good distance away from my tongue.Caitrin Femiahttp://www.cordanospearsdental.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-6868749549808811552011-05-06T21:26:39.448-04:002011-05-06T21:26:39.448-04:00Hi Gill!!

After 3 years, it's still okay. But I wouldn't admit it, if it wasn't... Hope you're getting some rest and you enjoy your weekend!~Kim at Golden Pines~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02001523468339091407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-33379401308301794822011-05-06T20:29:24.903-04:002011-05-06T20:29:24.903-04:00I think the fact that my root canal broke down was...I think the fact that my root canal broke down was the reason I lost one of my back molar's. You have my every sympathy on that and the bad cough. Mine was so bad I threw my back out so please be careful you don't do that as well, and I hope you feel better real soon.DeniseinVAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08494518513936310345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-72440029613296122212011-05-06T17:34:06.729-04:002011-05-06T17:34:06.729-04:00Oh I gag too, therefor I figure if they cant find ...Oh I gag too, therefor I figure if they cant find the hole by looking and Im not in pain, then I dont need the xray.<br />Hope you feel better soon.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-34703720366777043462011-05-06T17:05:18.556-04:002011-05-06T17:05:18.556-04:00Sorry your tooth is acting up again.

My dentist does not use the plastic things anymore, he invested in a small digital contraption-he made sure he told me it cost a lot of money- that must be why he charged me an arm and a leg for a pin which holds the new filling he just put in, thatk goodness for dental health insurance.<br />PatriciaPiece by Piecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11947220369390395236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-24574554058548737722011-05-06T15:58:11.951-04:002011-05-06T15:58:11.951-04:00What annoys me is that you often need a root canal...What annoys me is that you often need a root canal filling as a result of the dentist damaging the root when they fill your tooth! They are the absolute pits root canal fillings, I ended up having my tooth crowned a few years later. Costs an arm & a leg to keep a tooth but better than falsies Gill.<br /><br />Hope your cough gets better soon too.Winifredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12415302188575538163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-20997027624233780792011-05-06T14:07:34.354-04:002011-05-06T14:07:34.354-04:00I agree with Cathy.

You shouldn't still be experiencing pain all this while after. Keep at him or change your dentist. Trouble is whenever one changes one's dentist, they always want to start all over again, don't they. I'm sure the antibiotics will help the cough but with an infection in your mouth, it's no wonder you got a cough, is it.<br />Take care.Stella Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06699491230987143490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-81852702714279862072011-05-06T13:44:59.066-04:002011-05-06T13:44:59.066-04:00Oh, poor you!

Thankfully the ones I had done years ago are 'working well' <br />As an aside - do you put the potato on top of the meat when you freeze your shepherd's pie or just freeze the meat and then add the fresh mashed potatoes on the day?<br />Take care<br />CathyCathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487589871746402154noreply@blogger.com
