Lately I've been having awful pains in my molars. It feels like I have a cavity (or several) but I know that can't be the case because I've been brushing my teeth regularly and even using ACE mouth wash more than I had previously.
This morning it was bothering me really bad so I asked Isaac if it were possible that this was a side effect of the chemo. And of course, yes it is. Once again, since my teeth are fast-replicating cells, I'm bound to some level of pain.
It feels like all the molars in my mouth are loose. But they're not. Believe me--I tried yanking on them.
On a different note, I can't wait to get started on the photoshoot come Tuesday! Hopefully the end product will be something fabulous enough to get me hired in a salon out here. We can hope.
Have you visited your dentist already? Well, a toothache can be very annoying, but there are some ways to relieve the pain while waiting for your next dentist visit. First, you can buy over-the counter pain medications and topical treatments to numb the pain. And you can also mix 2-3 teaspoons of salt in a glass of water to gargle for 30 seconds. This will clean out the areas of the infected tooth to provide some relief. =)
