Question:
Hi Tispe, I wasn’t googling or anything but I was in another ng and your name jumped out at me. Did you ever buy a Gazelle Freestyle? My son want’s one, he runs cross-country, was also looking at the HealthWalkers. I’m sorry your feeling like crap. Me too. Fighting headaches and nausea, OCD, ADD behaviors running high. Can’t relax. Thought one of those machines would do me good too. Shannon
Response:
I’m guessing it was in the fitness ng…..I had asked a bunch of questions about elliptical trainers. No, I didn’t buy anything, with this dental bill, I can barely afford to buy a newspaper. Thanks for the support, Shannon…..you’re right about exercise helping with depression…..I tape the Denise Austin tapes, but never get around to actually doing them……… Tispe "Shannon" <ah…@aol.comnojunk> wrote in message

*****************Believe me a three tooth partial is a cinch? I had a two tooth partial for some missing back teeth and it never caused me any problems. The meds definitely create problems….especially anti depressants, which cause dry mouth, which in turn allows bacteria to remain in the mouth. I’m finding that the Serzone is even worse than the Remeron. I have used artifical saliva in the past, and you can buy a rinse called Biotene that is an anti bacterial "saliva" helper…….. Mouthwashes that have alcohol in them are bad news, as they also dry the mouth. Tom’s mouthwash is a good alternative. **********I’m not dental phobic, but I will say that when I realized I needed alot of extractions with no sleep sedation (way too costly), my dentist gave me Halcion to take prior to appointment. I was totally amazed that I could withstand three extractions at a time and be awake. > Hang in there, Tispe, you’re you, with or without your teeth -and forgive me > for sounding chirpy, but be grateful for a husband who thinks so, too.

***********I don’t know if I ever posted here that in August I discovered my husband had an affair with a gal in our choir. So I am not grateful….if I had the financial resources, I’d bail out, even after 30 years of marriage………….He had arthoscopic surgery on his shoulder on Thursday, so even though I wanted to really light into him for his cavalier "just get the dentures", I didn’t. But it does add one more crack to our "marriage" Replies to NG only, thanks, Tispe – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -> Lotte > "Tispe" <mcken…@erols.com> skrev i meddelandet > news:9ve1ji$afg$1@bob.news.rcn.net… > > The dentist popped off the temp bridge and was amazed to see how much more > > decay one tooth has gotten since he filed it down two weeks ago.

Response:
Hi, folks, I posted a few weeks back about how my therapist thinks I may be suffering from ptsd from all the dental work I’m undergoing due to the negligence (my personal opinion) of my former dentist. Last week I had to make an emergency visit there, and he had to pull another tooth which is under the bridge. He then tried to root canal another tooth but couldn’t get past a certain point, so this past Tuesday I saw two endo’s who weren’t successful either. Today I see my regular prosthodontist to see what’s to be done about that dilemma, and yet another root canal on my front tooth. Since my former dentist never took a full series of xrays (which would obviously include the front teeth), I’m feeling pretty upset because perhaps if that idiot had done his job competently, I wouldn’t be needing that root canal today. I’ve just received my 5th turndown from another malpractice lawyer, again reiterating the usual bs….your case has merit but not worth enough time and money for us to take you on as a client. Yesterday my hubby had shoulder surgery, so this has been a week from hell. I’ve tried very hard not to obsess too much on the teeth issue because of hubby’s surgery, but right now I wish I could cry, yell, scream. And, since I have no one to drive me to the dentist, I can’t take any of my usual pre-visit meds. Please keep me in your thoughts. I’ll post back…..I don’t imagine you need to read the post, but I need to vent and this is my place to do it. Thanks, all, Tispe
Response:
The dentist popped off the temp bridge and was amazed to see how much more decay one tooth has gotten since he filed it down two weeks ago. We talked at great length if perhaps I should just end the work here and get a full denture, but after many xrays and careful review, he still feels confident that these root canals and post and cores would work and since he will put a sealant on the teeth, perhaps that will stem the decay cycle. He said that if two years down the road the decay is rampant, he’d do the dentures for free, although I know that dentures are the cheapest things in dentistry, but still I appreciated his concern. My husband thinks I should go for the full dentures now, (and it would save us about $8.000), but it’s my mouth, and the dentist also said because of my extreme dry mouth syndrome, wearing full uppers would be harder to fit comfortably and keep in place, even with fixatives. I’m so down………and when we were talking about this I felt the anger toward my former dentist building up where I actually think I heard a snapping sound in my head……… All the way home driving in rainy and very foggy weather I hoped I’d get creamed by a truck and then the problems would be solved…….and I could "go home" and rest next to my parents who are buried on Long Island, which will always be home to me. Any replies to ng, please. I just needed to get this off my chest. Tispe "Tispe" <mcken…@erols.com> wrote in message

Dear Tispe, I’m so sorry for you. I’m 41, and was just adviced by my dentist to get a prosthesis for the three teeth lacking in my upper right jaw. I know it’s nothing to your problem, but it makes me feel I’m supposed to pay 700 dollars to feel like I’m 84… It seems like we all have this problem in common. Does anybody know: Is it because of side effects from meds, or is it because we are more prone to dentist-o-phobia? I certainly have that: I fainted once, on my way in there. Otherwise, I don’t think I’m phobic. Hang in there, Tispe, you’re you, with or without your teeth -and forgive me for sounding chirpy, but be grateful for a husband who thinks so, too. I’m still looking for one of those. On what kind of tree do they grow?
