Getting Better!!

[Eyes_herself]

At my annual dentist appointment, I told my dentist that my ride side of my mouth, ever since my wisdom teeth were pulled out, felt totally different.
((Also, that I have been having seizures twice a day that day after -i did have a previous bought with seizures as a child though-))

Soo... he pressed along the bone shelf and said, "Hmm... well you are missing a good bit of your bone shelf in your jaw, due to the severely impacted tooth, but you have a bit of bone growing/sticking out in the wrong direction."

A sharp splinter of bone needed to be filed down. So they cut the gum, filed that sucker down, and sewed me up. It really didn't hurt. That or I was excited and that made if better feeling?! lol.

It's been a week since and the feeling has come back into my cheek. My seizures have become less intense as well! Granted, I still have them and am fully aware of everything going on for the short seconds they are, but a second or so less than usual makes life much easier.

I wish everyone the best! AND if your seizures became worse after a wisdom tooth extraction, feel for any crazy bone points in your gums!!!

Wow,

that's weird! I've never heard of such a thing. It sort of makes sense though...onder:

I'm glad you're feeling better though.....:bigsmile:

Yes there have been connections made between dental work and other major illness.

Not related to wisdom teeth, but could have a connection, if amalgams are disrupted in the process.

Glad you are doing better after the surgery. Thanks for sharing the interesting experience. I wonder how many others have similar experiences.
