Don't mind the grammar, it's late
Tomorrow, well, technically this morning, Wednesday at 8:30 am i will be at a Periodontics office. I posted awhile ago about stress and burning mouth syndrome in a thread not to long ago.
I've had issues with my front teeth for over a year and a half. The feeling isn't truly painful, but an indescribable continuance irritation. It bothers me from the time i wake up to the time i go to sleep. Some days are worse then others and the only time it feels better is if i eat something.. then, immediately it returns. I've seen the family doctor, dentist, Endocrinologist (thyroid) and Otolaryngologist (sinuses), undergone scans and blood work and haven't found anything. The only thing remotely close was when i was search the internet and came across burning mouth syndrome. My dad thinks it is all in my head. I cry anymore cause it's driving me mad.
My dentist, since i have began seeing him last october to try to figure out the problem, probably has thought of me as crazy as well as his staff. He tells my i have too much stress and to relax and have a cocktail. I do that, yet the sensation stays with me. It's taken a toll on me wanting to do things, from me playing with my son and from me kissing my fiance. I've been miserable with this and considered the only way out of not feeling this pain is to not wake up. Suicide however is not an option i'd ever contemplate about, but it would be nice to not deal with this feeling i've had for over a year now.
Like i said, in my own miserableness, i may have said a few things on the board more likely out of frustration cause of my teeth. I know i have hurt some people weather is be here or at home and i'm taking the time to apologize. So.. I'm sorry.
Anyways, at my visit this morning to my main dentist, i told the staff member that i had made an appointment with a Periodontics Dentist and that i needed a copy of my xrays. Among the entrance of the dentist, he ask me why i'm going to the Periodontics. Told me it was a waste of my money and time. He told me i scheduled an appointment with a bone doctor and that my mouth looked perfectly fine adn basically taunted me to a point where i was going to cancel. I told him i made the appointment cause I could no longer live with this pain....it's affecting me and everything about me.
Time past and he asked me once again what i was feeling. Now i'm not dumb. Like i said, i started seeing this dentist, whom i really like, last October. I've had a root canal, 3 cleanings and 2 fillings since going to him and i hadn't been to the dentist prior for almost 10 years.
Every time at his office, i've described the feeling, he looks, gives me a sensitivity treatment and i'm on my way and tells me to relax.
The one appointment i told him and a staff member that i could suck air out from what felt like above my teeth when my mouth was completely shut. Only for a second though
crazy
However, i must have done something today. I went for 2 more fillings and he must have gotten kinda pissed that i was going to another dentist. He then decided to take some extra xrays.. why.. probably cause they were higher to the bone of the mouth and so he could make a few extra $$$ instead of the Periodontics dentist. that's just a theory i don't know.
So i go to another room with the lady assistant and take xrays and go back to my room. Next i hear the dentist say to take some picture and send it to another dentist.
this is what has been discovered. (see picture)
I'm not f'ng crazy! there is proof. I felt so relieved! And that's probably where the air was coming from! But now i'm nervous as hell. After him seeing this, he told me to keep my appointment with the Periodontics and he was suppose to let me know what the other dentist said about the xray. (which i haven't heard from yet)
i'm so scared on what they will do now. There's a freaking crack inbetween my two front teeth. How it got there, he asked me if i got hit. I don't recall it, but i do think i smacked my teeth on something last year, or maybe tried to open something with my mouth. Not sure, but i hope this is the problem though in a way. No more test. No more run around and expenses for no answers. I'm just hoping i can keep my damn teeth!
So, I'm just going to ask for a little thought today while i'm here. Like i said, this is undescribable how i'm feeling. I just know it's making me a very bitter person that is very frustrated and cries anymore cause i can't stand it...
and i hope if someone else is going through something similiar, this may be the problem.
