Maynard is finished with dental!!! NO SCC FOUND!

Dr said his 2 big teeth in front were abscessed and infected way down inside the root!! nailbite_smile He said he could understand why he was in so much pain!

He gave him antibiotics and pain shot while under and will be sending him home with pain meds and the collar of shame :roll:

He said he will be in alot of pain for a couple days and the pain meds may knock him out. He said that he needs to rest and hopefully, in a few days will be better. He said he actually flinched WHILE UNDER ANESTHETIC when he was touching these teeth!!!!! He said that hardly ever happens. (My question would be does this mean it is really, really painful..........or did the doctor not give him enough anesthetic? I thought maybe because he is 18 that he went light on the anesthetic?)

ANYWAYS..........Maynard is going to really, really hate my hubby and I for doing this to him. He, unfortunately, will not understand that in a few days, he will be feeling much better. He is such a sensitive guy that I need to make sure that he pulls through this and doesn't give up. He may be at his breaking point! :( :( :(
 
Well - I suppose that's good news, but man that sounds painful!! Poor Maynard! Gobs of healing and get well soon vines headed your way. I'm sure he'll love you 10 fold once he gets to feeling better! cat_pet_icon
 
First I am glad you updated on Maynard, glad all went even though it was so painful for him. I am positive he won't hold a grudge once he feels better and starts eating. He knows how lucky he is to have you as a mom.

He won't hate you.

J.D. just had a very badly abscessed canine taken out (along with 7 other teeth) and he is 18 too, and he doesn't hate me. He was on bupe for a week and ABs for two weeks. Along with Oral Cleansing Gel, Oral Hygiene Rinse, and 1-TDC for the future.
I hope Maynard is sent home with some pain medication (preferrably buprenex) and ABs, too.

Sending fast recovery vines to Maynard.
 
Ceil...

I'm so glad it wasn't the dreaded scc. I know you've been there.. done that and how difficult it was for you. Bupe will keep Maynard happy and loving you.

Sending hugs to both you and Maynard.

Lynn and Radar(GA)
