Struggle for existence

Saw Dr. Rodney on 4th and which was horrible. He applied some band across the lower set of teeth which was hurting like hell….…. Now i could sleep only in the straight position... Turning into both sides hurts me when i wake up... .Also each morning when i wake up all the fixtures feel like they are welded into the side of my mouth. Its a very strange sensation... I almost forgot the taste of my favorite food... The urge to chew things also have lost completely..... Swelling turns up once or twice in a month and those antibiotics(MOX 500, NOVACLOX LB, ORDENT,AUGMENTIN) seems hectic leaves me damn hungry even after a good meal......And this braces started affecting my speech, I started talking like Renjini Haridas (a manglish anchor) and I received a lot of weird and funny comments. I almost lost my pronunciation. even my mother tongue feels funny when I try to explain something…….

My teeth have gone very yellow though. To keep my teeth away from bleeding and deposits I’ve invested in some mouth wash called PLAX, and some gum powder........... I've lost almost 8 kgs and now I look pathetic ( in my mom's view) and my dress all went unfit.... I have received various comments from friends and family and some old ladies suggested me to consult ayurvedic vydians (doctors )for keeping my body healthy and safe... .....

Scared of Square Wire

Today i had some more wire put into my mouth. My front teeth of  top set of teeth need to leave a gap so it’s to pull 'em apart. Its not started hurting yet.. Its complained only when Dr. Rodney pushed that inside.....

Next time i’m going to have a thicker wire, and then i’m going to have a square wire which apparently moves the roots of your teeth. But nice orthodontist Rodney says that it doesn't necessarily more pain.

My sweet smile:)

The second appointment after fixing braces. Now a visible change is there on my lower jaw. The shape of my face has changed already. It looks a lot thinner now I mean the lower part of my face. I’m wondering what i’ll look like after the surgery, and even if i’ll like it.

Now it’s the Christmas time….. I decorated my whole house and this evening I’ve just been taking a few pics to see what movement there has been with my face......

When i smile you can’t see my bottom teeth at all, only the top ones, but this picture is a bit cloudy to show this excellent result to its full effect.

Fixed braces

Before i get my fixed braces fitted. My appointment is at 10 am at dental practice just to put four clips, it hurt like hell….. I wish to run out of the clinic screaming out loud but the same time I thought, I’ll bear it just for the sake of my mom’s dream, for the sake of my surgery……. My last hope………..

I wondered how’ll be my braces fixed face . I’m scared it will hurt and i don’t know how others will react. I’m worried I’ll be treated differently too. But I hope it will be quick because I start loving these procedures…

I’ve just had my fixed braces glued on 2 days ago. It doesn’t feel great to be honest, and they’re not even properly hooked up yet .

The first couple of days are supposedly the worst, so i can only hope things start to improve. I’ve the braces closed in and it means i can’t bite down or chew anything. Its also giving me a sore throat and really catching the skin in my mouth at the front and they feel absolutely HUGE ….Honestly I’d do anything for a bit of comfort . Ringed Dr. Jeomy twice or thrice and his advice was to take imol and fix relief wax on contact areas.

So far i’ve gained temporary relief (following on from a few seconds 
of agony) from the following methods

• Rinsing my mouth with boiling salt water
• Stuffing wet tissue into the inside of my mouth
• Taking paracetamol and/or Imole every 6 hours or when its action ends.
• Swallowing things without chewing them
• Only eating or drinking things in liquid form
• Being asleep

And now its going to take a bit of getting used to! 

Finally my RCT

Another specialist, another experience..... Dr. Jeomy again referred me to Dr. Ganesh C Nair for the RCT.... He is a great human being having patience enough to listen and understand his patient's feelings and anxieties...... I was late again there, only by 10 minutes but he was generous, didn't screw me for those past 600 seconds...... First day he did two teeth next day another one... He seems scared to touch those risky and complicated teeth and sent me back without finishing that. He said he needs to discuss about that case with Dr. Jeomy and finally Dr. Rodney concluded that we must keep that risky one because removing that will take another six months. In detail, already I have extracted one molar teeth near that and others are inside my gum... To cut the gum and making that come out will cost another valuable six months...... According to the instructions of Dr. Jeomy, the risky one also turned blue. Dr. Ganesh finished it as two parts in two days.... RCT was really scary, we, me n my doctor worried about that a lot but that was an interesting experience..... It doesn't hurt me but that left me a completely liquitarien........

Second Discussion

The great second discussion.... After postponing it several times due to Dr. Rodney's ill health and today am feeling tired,  confused of the present scenario and the memory of Dr. Shivapriyan's insult but here Dr. Oommen appeared like an angel, consoled me and said if you are not interested will think about another specialist, you do not need to visit him again........  Then he confirmed that preparing my teeth for the surgery will take 1 and half years.... I was completely in a dilemma to move on with it or quit it here but finally I decided to move on because some treatments should have definitely done on my teeth in order to keep that inside my mouth..... So now it’s not only the case of cosmetic issue.... A bit worried, a bit confused I’m moving forward.........

First Disappointment...:(

For the root canal treatment my dentist referred me to Dr. Shivapriyan, endodontist, a tall, slim and dark guy with a rude look..... His hands with a golden wrist watch caught my attention easily because that was the only shining thing over there I mean on that whole clinic.... His merciless look and talks frightened me a little. With a little fear I fixed an appointment with him on today morning at 9'o clock.....

Since am residing so far away from his clinic, I started my journey, my dangerous mission early in the morning around 6 am but this hectic traffic blocks, bus waiting's made me late and I reached his clinic at 9.15 am, 15 mins late  from the fixed appointment and I found that clinic empty... We, me and my sister sat there at the patient's waiting room for another 25 mins then he turned up with a devilish smile attached on his face..... He said am late, very late and started another 1 and 1/2 hour continuous firing without listening or giving a chance to clarify my part....A bit later I stopped listening his scolding I just noticed his lip movements.... His nose and lips were vibrating with anger...... My other doctors, Dr. Oommen, Dr. Jeomy and Dr Rodney, they were all very kind to me..... I never imagined such a bad situation there so I stood there motionless not able to adjust with that current scenario..... After a while I went near him and asked, what should I do now??? without knowing my doctors will help me to find another specialist to perform root canal..... He grinned at me demonically and said " i dont've time to do your RCT now, call me later, fix an appointment then come again", i turned back and slowly headed out to my sister who was waiting there outside of the room unable to accept his insult.... I knew I was late, and that was my mistake only because doctors don’t need to think about patient's problems apart from those treatments based ones but a humanity that was missing there... Am ready to agree that whatever happened, that all are my fault and he doesn't have time to do my RCT on that particular day but he'd have shown a little mercy on me, he'd have told that calmly with a voice which a normal person do not get frightened.....i'm a short girl only 5 feet long, near me he is like a mountain.... The scene was like a dinosaur trying to eat one kid!!!!!!This one was my first and worst experience which i never ever want to happen again in my life.....:(

On the way back to home i ringed my dentist and described him the bad experience which i have received from Dr Shivapriyan.... To my great relief, he consoled me and assured me that he'll discuss this with Dr.  Oommen.
