I broke a tooth a week or so ago.

This in and of itself wasn't such a big deal.

But today I went to get fitted for a crown, and they did all that business of filing down the old tooth to a peg and everything, then stuck a lump of plasticine in there and told me to come back in 2 weeks for the proper crown. Everything was fine - I felt nothing, the whole procedure was really easy.

Now that the anaesthetic has worn off completely however IT IS A WHOLE OTHER STORY. Fuck me, is this painful. There's sort of a general dull ache, which is annoying, but not a real problem - it is the random, excruciating nerve pain that shoots up into my jaw anytime my tongue brushes the plasticine, or when I swallow, or breathe, or think about swallowing or breathing. Fucking hell. Ow. Ow. Ow.

I had a tooth problem once too, my tooth died and I ended up getting an abcess and had to have a root canal and I'll tell you I was in so much pain before I went to the dentist. I was on the bus and it hit a bump and my bottom teeth hit the dying one and I thought I might actually pass out from the pain. I couldn't eat, couldn't sleep, it was horrible.

I feel ya, peachy. Get some vicodin or something.

I'm sorry, Peachy. Tooth pain can be agonizing.
