Fear of dentist. Extraction needed. Fear I will die.

Glad things are better and you did well in a situation that would cause anyone anxiety.

Concerning your dog? Animals can sense when we're in pain or something is amiss..... They know

Very true. Little bugger loves to act like a wrecking ball on the lead when I'm feeling anxious. Almost makes me forget about the anxiety, like he does it on purpose

I think to make your life a little more easier and less painful, you should stick to a soft diet for a while. Until the area has healed and adjusted. And it will.

Even eating bread is painful. It's had me in tears again today.

Maybe try porridge, yoghurt or mashed potato?

That's a good shout Blue. I actually just prepped the potatoes for dinner. Was wondering if fish fingers is pushing it. I've got mushy peas too which should be soft enough. Maybe a tin of oxtail soup for starters

I ended up having some fish, cheese and potatoe pie and beans. Even the potatoe caused horrible pain. It's aching right now. But, at least I ate. Must be dry socket because before I ate it was fine. I did a salt rinse.

Horrendous

Bread is the worse thing you can eat when like that wired.
It takes a lot of chewing and it's pappy.
Mash potato, eggs, spag bol, yogurt, fish, rice, porridge,..
Also temperature can be an issue, not too hot, not too cold.
It sounds like a gum issue that needs to settle.

I avoided bread for now. Woke up in pain, but after a paracetamol it went away. I think today is a somewhat better day. I've got loads of oxtail soup so I'll stick to that for a bit.

You're right about hot and cold, that really does affect it. A cup of tea is never a problem thought thankfully.

Hope you're well Carnation. It's a lovely day today. Dull, but just the right temperature. I had some diazepam and took dog for a walk to pick up my meds.

[Carnation]

It's a nice temperature today.
You might find that certain foods can set it off so stick to things that will gentle to digest.
