Hang in there....I hope things go well for you Lindy It is agravating when you just put money and time into a tooth and it doesn't take. Arggh! I had three tooth extractions last year. I tried fixing one. It didn't work. Then they wanted me to fix the last one. I was sick physically from it. I knew it needed to come out. Long story short it did come out. It was abcessed. I feel so much healthier after finally getting it all done.just got in from the dentist.. Hi Babs, not such a bad appt. for you.  I've got those spaces and need 3 fillings to take care of them.  The same thing as you, but they're going to wait to do the fillings later in the summer when I have the crown done.  When you're on the biologics dental problems come up fast and hard, even though you take good care of your teeth.  Lindy LinB2009-05-19 16:58:23Glad your appt. wasn't too bad Babs. Did he say swish with straight peroxide? I was trying that for awhile for this lump but it's still here.
We'll see what he says- thanks for the fairy dust waddie!
The link is dead? Must be a crock- I'm interested to see what my dentist makes of it.
I will keep tapping that fairy on the butt to get her in gear and dust you guys up good!  She may be a raven Lindy, in one of her darker moods?   She just might be a raven, I'm in a dark mood myself.  Lindy babs102009-05-20 06:23:18Babs- that peroxide dries your mouth right out! It does taste awful too- but my teeth seemed whiter and they are tetracycline stained. i sure don't need my mouth to be dryer....... I'll have to take the salagen more often... UGH... whiter is GOOD!!  I don't know what kind of toothpaste you girls are using, but I've been using Arm and Hammer peroxide + baking soda toothpaste and it does a wonderful job of cleaning and keeping my mouth fresh and teeth white.  I've got a couple areas where my gums tend to get inflamed and it hasn't been nearly as bad since I've been using the Arm and Hammer.  My dentist is always amazed at how little tartar buildup is on my teeth, especially since I only go to the dentist once every few years. JR- do you find that toothpaste to have a "salty" flavor? My SIL works for Church & Dwight so I have great access to A&H products but I didn't care for it. Or maybe it was the gum that had the salty flavor.... [QUOTE=wanttobeRAfree]JR- do you find that toothpaste to have a "salty" flavor?

Yep - that's the baking soda. It's a little strange at first but I quickly got used to it - especially after I realized how much cleaner and fresher my mouth and teeth were!  Morning "dragon breath" is all but eliminated if I use the Arm and Hammer the night before.  Challenge yourself to use it for one whole tube and then decide.  You can put up with the odd taste for 2 or 3 minutes a day. awww.. Shug.. she's the sweetest.... Shug, you devil, you brought tears to my eyes - damn I can't see the screen!!!!  Jas, I used to use Arm and Hammer but for some reason got away from it.  I've been using one of the teeth whitener tooth pastes.  Am now using Bexident from the dentist and Sensodyne.  Once this is over I may try A&H again.  Thanks.  [QUOTE=LinB]  I'd probably handle it all much better if there wasn't so much going on at once.  I really appreciate the support, sniffle, sniffle.  Lindy  [/QUOTE]

Tissue? Cup of tea? Shot of tequilla?

Of course you would be better able to deal with this if it was the only thing going on in your life. But your quota of straw was filled weeks ago.

PS Have you scheduled the sonogram on your breast?

Shug, yep and silly me it wasn't a sonogram; it was an ultrasound [QUOTE=LinB]

but damn it I'm going to golf inbetween all the crappy appts.!!!!! And I'm going to make Margaritas every night for a week and I refuse to think about the appt. with the surgeon until we leave San Diego.    Lindy

Thanks guys.  It's always good to have a back up fairy.  Doesn't sound good either, but you know what I mean.  Have sore mouth issues this morning, going to golf if it feels better but then again I may let Stan golf by himself.  We need some away time from one another.  Too much closeness if you know what I mean.  Love him dearly and he's my angel but .........

Snow, you made me chuckle early this morning

Babs, you're my cheerleader, thanks. 

Shug, you're always there with the tequila

Thanks.  Lindy

Hate the dentist too!!!!!!!!! [QUOTE=LinB]Shug, you're always there with the tequila[/quote]
 A friend brought me a quarter-bushel of strawberries about an hour ago, I have some limes, triple sec, and a blender. Strawberry Margarita’s will be served for luncheon, along with shrimp tacos complimented by mango/pineapple/chilpote salsa. I’ll have Bob start a fire in the chimnera to take the gloom of this leaden sky and chilly-temperature day and it will be a party. It seems we could all use a good party!

Shug, I'll definately be there in spirit.  I made fish tacos the other night with Margaritas and cuke and radish salad.  Didn't have a fire in the chimnera because it's been as hot as 106 degrees.  Even the pool is too warm.  Enjoy your lunch.  Lindy[QUOTE=SnowOwl][QUOTE]
