ok, so i had my dentist appt. today, which wasnt as bad as i thought it would be

 
at 10:30 one hour before the appt. i had to take 6 500mg amoxicillin pills
and at 6, tonight i gotta take 4 more
then every 6 hours, for four more times i have to take 1 pill each time
meaning i have to wake up at midnight
 
we got there at 11:20, or so
and my mom filled out the paperwork
then we waited to be called in
 
the dentist wasnt as mean as i thought she'd be
seems like she yelled at me more when i was a little kid
than she does now that im older
 
so, i have NO cavities
 
but as usual, I HAVE TO BRUSH BETTER
she sayd especiallly since i take pred and mtx now, its even more important
 
she told me to start using floss too
 
since the pred made my teeth extra sensitive to cold
she put a special flouride on them, to make them less sensitive
so, i cant brush my teeth until tonight. she sayd the longer i have it on, the less sensitive my teeth will be, and that even tho its gooey, not to brush it off till tonight
 
she told us to use sensodyne (mispelled it i think) its that toothpaste that supposedly makes ur teeth less sensitive, so we got that now
 
and that was my dentist appt.
i go back in februaryYeah, flossing is very important.  Glad you didn't have any cavities. 
So why are you taking the amoxicillin?
 
I went to the dentist yesterday.  I had to have a root canal done last month and had a temporary filling put in, so yesterday was to take the temporary one out and put the permanent filling in. 
well my rhuemy sayd to
last time i went to him
he gave me the amoxicillin
and sayd to take it
 
i remember back in the hospital
he sayd whenever i had dental work done
id need to take it
 
my mom thinks its to prevent some kinda infections
i guess that must be it
 
he actually didnt say why i needed it tho
