(written 12 Nov) It is imperative that mothers-to-be get their dental conditions in order! Go for a dental check up if you’re planning to get pregnant. Go for another check up in your 2nd trimester and make sure that in the meantime, you brush twice daily, carefully and thoroughly so that you don’t get gingivitis or periodontitis which could start off labour early! It’s no joke!
Flossing daily is also recommended.
I hope my gum infection clears up soon.
http://www.buzzle.com/articles/gum-disease-and-infection.html this website will give you quite a nice lot and organised composition of information about gum infection - I've probably searched 100 websites and I like what this one told me and how it told me things about gum infection.
(Update 14 Nov) My gum infection, after finishing the enzyme and all that, has not cleared up - there doesn't seem to be much difference, the pain when chewing is the same and if anything, the raw area on my gum near my wisdom tooth seems to have developed a white pocket - am liable to think it IS heatiness cos this is how ulcers appear to be right? I've never had an ulcer in my life....so just guessing here. The gums are still rather swollen from my own eye examination cos I can see and feel the gumline almost right up to the surface of my teeth.
Sigh, more porridge but MIL has been great in trying to add variety to my daily dinner. Also, since I can't eat any fruits and vegetables, she's processing juice for me - the first day it was oranges, apples and banana and the second it was green apple, celery and something (since I wasn't getting my veges!!!!!) and last night, she thought up kiwi and a juice we usually have (Berry Blast which is a juice of 5 fruits and vegetables) and I added in a mashed banana. Hehehheheehhe.
I went to White Zone Dental in PJ New Town (State) for my checkup and non-resolution - not sure if my strain is especially virulent or the dentist just didn't identify/resolve the correct problem. But I have a prior appointment set up with another dentist near work for Tuesday so if it's still not healed by then, I shall have a go at the other dentist - at this stage, I'm like - just lance the damn thing and let me get on with life - I'm missing out on so much fooodddddd - and you know you just want to eat it all when you can't right?! Double Sigh!
Yesterday for lunch I had Mushroom Soup and Garlic Bread (soaked of course) at the Western Food counter at Food Republic at Pavilion Mall. They charged me RM4.90 for the soup which was tastelesss fat - it's a good thing I had the Garlic Bread otherwise I would have been tempted to just leave the whole damn thing! YIKES!
