Dentist appointment.(More things to solve.)

I have just resturned from my Dentist appointment, just a check up to see what he can do for me.
My teeth are looking very good, not too many issues.

But two are causing trouble and I guess have a hole in it.
One is a milktooth and it won't come out because the definitive/new tooth underneath 'lays flat' so it won't grow and appear on the outside.
Basically the milktooth will need to get pulled and they they'll have to see how the one underneath is laying.
Then they can possibly do something that hopefully will make it grow and appear by using Orthodentic tools.
And most likely with the help of wearing braces.

Of course if the tooth isn't laying good, then there are other options but I guess I'll have an empty spot instead of a tooth.
There's of course many things to help that.
But some of them I can't do but there are always solutions.
The other teeth is either pull out or something with pulling out the nerves and save it.

Other than that it's all good but will require a whole dental plan, discuss with Gp/Rheumy.
Because of all the infection risks when pulling and etc he's a bit concerned about.
As most likely I have a lot of pain already and inflammations everywhere.
He checked upon my jaws but it's indeed inflammated joints.
All caused by the Lupus.

My next visit will be to a Stomatologist(I think that is the name).
And he will help us make a plan and what would be best to do, aswell take x-rays of my whole mouth and jaws involved.
Can see more on those compared to the ones Dentist makes.

I woke up feeling very feverish and flu-alike, got a bad migraine aswell and the pain is really awful.
I have a high pain tolerance but this really forces me to stay in bed.
Will just get plenty of rest and keep my chin up as allways.
But the good thing is that I'm still smiling!

Hugs and love! <3

Thank you Litleme.:)
I guess brushing 4 times a day like a manaic really does benefit in the end! :D
Only seems like it are going to be a lot of appointments, not really pleasant to get dental work done.
But I want to keep my teeth as healthy as possible, so it's important.

Hope you are feeling ok, hugs!
