Tooth okay!

A few days ago I thought my tooth was bleeding!  I truly believed it was coming from a back tooth!  I just knew it was going to have to be pulled because of how bad it had to be!  I was not going to go for root canal! I would probably get an implant and that is pretty expensive!  But that is NOT  what happened!  Dentist took xray to be sure but said he didn't think anything was wrong with it!  And lo and behold my tooth was perfectly fine and so are the rest of my teeth too! Yay! LOL!  I was worrying all weekend for nothing but at least I finally got my teeth cleaned! LOL!  It's been over two years since I had them cleaned and really didn't think I needed it! I floss,rinse and brush every night!  Well I had build up I could't see,feel or keep clean and that caused the gums to bleed and I didn't even realize it!  Maybe this will teach me to get them cleaned! I am so happy!

lol I am glad it was a small scare that turned out to be nothing, I used to get my teeth clean regularly but I haven\'t in a very longtime, might have to start that back up again.

Agreed that was what happened to me like a few yrs back, I had this serious toothache, took some painkillers, felt better, and like a few months later my left side of my mouth was completely swollen up it looked like I had a gulf ball stuck in my cheek, turns out the pain I was feeling was from 2 infected tooths

And the infection from bad teeth can spread to brain and or heart! Glad you got it taken care!
