It's this morning.... unless I chicken out. Who the hell wants THAT in the morning? I had a filling fall out and then the top of the molar came off. Damn it! They're giving me percocet- or else! They promised it, so I am keeping them to it.

Tela I hope all goes well and they can do a good job. Dental is a pain. Best of luck.

I feel ya!
A bad tooth will cause pain way longer than the procedure to fix it 😊
Good luck!

It won't be that bad, Tela. You didn't say exactly what they're doing, but if they're just pulling the tooth, it will be fine. You'll be sore for a day or two (depending) and then you're golden.
Good luck with the procedure!

They just have to cut the gum to remove the tooth. I have some xanax, so I'm golden. LOL!!! I'm not normally a chicken abt the dentist, but the thought of my gums being cut kinda freaks me out. I had a root canal in that tooth, so I don't feel anything.

I've had that done. You'll probably get some stitches in there so you get to chew on the other side until it heals. It won't be that bad. Good excuse to eat lots of ice cream!

Had the same thing done a couple years ago and know you'll be fine. Pain killers may affect your RTH moderating a little with tipsy and slurred typing.

"Slurred typing", love it.
You should be fine. Note that this is coming from someone too chicken to have all of my gums sliced so all remaining teeth/roots can be removed.

Morning is best for this. You won't have all day to fret about it. Get it done and it is over. Yeah, watch that "slurred typing"! Good luck! Enjoy the ice cream...

DONE!!!! It wasn't even too bad. He didn't have to cut or stitch. He dissected the tooth and removed parts. YAY!

Whew! The BEST is when it's all over with! I'm with you, going to the dentist is one of the most 'grown up' things I do, when I'd rather run away and hide behind my garden bench!

Glad it all went well, but I’d have ice cream anyway. 🙂

Ice cream is therapeutic. Perfect for such situations.
