Okay, I schedule a visit to the dentist just for a cleaning, but find out I’ve got some serious issues pending. I should’ve figure that out when I had some severe pain in my right-side upper jaw during this recent bought with bronchitis. It was severe! I literally couldn’t sleep one night just because of this strange pain I felt on the right side of my face. But, as the bronchitis went away, so did the pain in my jaw. So I didn’t think much about it.
The infection, however, turns out was agitating a pre-existing condition that I wasn’t aware of… which was an great deal of decay in that upper area. This goes waaaaaay back to when I was 16 and had a tooth removed. Another tooth up in my jaw was supposed to descend… but it never did! It is still up in there…lying sideways… pushing my other teeth in weird directions…. decaying…. ugh! And now almost 40 years later it is rotting and causing me problems. It needs to be removed. 🙁
Insurance will cover 2/3rds of this cost, but I still need to shovel out over $2,000. So that sucks.
