A phone call from a dentist waked me up late this morning. She told me that I could see her from now because her patient made a cancellation. As soon as I arrived at her, the treatment started after taking X-ray. I had two options about my treatment; one is to restore my dropped crown with some cement temporarily, and the other is to recreate a new crown after caring the decayed tooth. I chose the complete care because she said she could finish it within one hour. As I was closing my eyes all the time, I'm not sure what she was doing exactly. After getting a local anesthetic, all I could feel was rubber on my lips, vibration of dental device, and the pain around my jaw which was kept open all the time. Just as she had told me, her treatment finished after one hour and I retrieved my back tooth. I didn't have any pain or strange feeling around my new tooth. It is perfect for now.
This treatment looked even miracle for me because I was used to the Japanese dentist's slow treatment in which we have to see him or her every week for months; he takes pictures and examine on the first day, he cleans the decayed tooth and covers it with gum on the next week, he makes the cast of the new tooth and orders to a dental technician, he puts the new tooth on the patient a few weeks later, he adjusts the new tooth on the next week, and he does the final check on the last day. I hear that dentist's skills are excellent in Vancouver because they have to take skill check to keep up with brand-new technique. I think it's a good system and it should be adopted to Japanese dentists and doctors.
Great dentist you have. :)

I would just take two 500mg aspirin (that's kind to the stcoamh), every five or six hours, and then I'd rub tea tree oil onto my gums. You can get tea tree oil at a health food store get a good brand it's not expensive at all. Not only does it numb the pain so you can tolerate it, it also heals the tissues. Don't drink the stuff just rub it into your sore gums real good, maybe in the morning, and for sure before you go to bed. It tastes pretty bad but after awhile you won't mind. It can numb your tongue, too, by the way. I've also made a paste of tea tree oil and charcoal, and just before bed, I packed it around my gums. The charcoal will draw out infection, and the tea tree oil numbs and heals. They may have other ideas for you at the health food store. I know the aspirin, or whatever you use, Tylenol, whatever, will help, too. I sure hope you feel better, soon..my heart goes out to you, hon.
