Toothache

Aissshhh! I've developed a low grade toothache in the lower right region of my teeth. Difficult peering in a magnifying mirror has revealed a darker spot in the middle of the tooth - which could either be a cavity or shadow from plaque....hehehehahhaha.....

It's been there since late Monday evening, mum thinks I'm heaty and yeah my gums on that side have swelled up a bit and are tender to the touch; MIL meanwhile thinks I've developed dental caries (TOUCH WOOD!) from lack of calcium during pregnancy. I only drink like a glass of milk a day with no calcium supplements so gotta ask my doc about that......apparently pregnant women need 1200-1500mg of calcium a day.....One glass is like 250-300mg....sigh....

I REALLY hope it's not a cavity cos I don't want a single filling to mar the look of my teeth. I'm going to be really upset if it is and I've developed it due to a lack of calcium. Baby boy just turned 29 weeks and apparently babies start their guzzling of calcium from the 3rd trimester onwards - takkan so fast the calcium deficiency has taken effect????? And it's not like I was a complete milk virgin before! I drink milk!

Last night I told my dad that I had a toothache and he was really surprised cos yeah, the last time I had a toothache - I sat up crying through the night, with my mum accompanying me and my little night lamp (you know the one where the inner light creates shadows from the outer layer that revolves????) Yeah - I was like below 10 probably! Every visit to the dentist after I got my permanent teeth in has been just routine cleaning with nothing extraordinary - I seem to have very strong teeth - til now..........that's why I'm inclined to think it is heatiness - though I exhibit no other symptoms - like constipation or pimples or sore throat or whatever......AIYA! With a CAPITAL A!!!!!!!
