Crown

I wish I was talking about a beautiful crown that I get to wear a top my head, but unfortunately for me, I'm not. If pregnancy wasn't bugging me enough, I had to get a crown on one of my back molars. I fractured my tooth, I didn't even know you could do that. It was bad enough that I had to get a crown to repair it.

I went in a week and a half ago for part one of a two part service. My jaw has never hurt so much in my life. Being pregnant I can only take Tylenol and that barely took the edge off. For three solid days afterwards it was hard to open my mouth.

Now I don't have the pain in my jaw but the annoyance of the temporary crown. They suggested that I try not to chew food on that side. I now know why. 2 times yesterday I bit into something hard directly on that tooth, not meaning too, and it sent an uncomfortable pain into that lovely tooth on mine. Its sucks, the left side of my mouth is getting tired of being in charge of chewing my food. I feel like I'm wearing that side of my mouth out. My brain has a hard time remembering as well, but when I hit that tooth, I quickly remember ;) Lucky me.

Week and a half left and then I will be done with this lovely experience. I never want to have to have another crown again. This has made me more cautious of taking better care of my teeth. However, the Dentist has informed me that I really need to stay on top of this, because I have one other tooth that will probably need a crown as well in the near future.
