I Finally Went To the Dentist

How It Started 

We know and believe that majority of the bacterias in our body are harboured in the mouth. Infact more than 80% I may say. On that note, emphasis on maintaining our oral region is a message all our followers can attest that we preach. So I always make effort using good tooth paste and bicarbonate to brush daily and occasional coconut oil mouth rinse. But as is common to most of us, overtime, I relaxed in the area of using coconut oil moreso that things are quite expensive these days including coconut oil, So I moved on. No issues whatsoever, I just enjoyed myself. But Gbum, it started like a small tickle in one of my upper pre molars, Hm I just did my regular brushing and was too busy to really listen to this body signal. No we must pay attention to every little thing or symptom that goes on in our body. I

 insist here that more attention be given to our oral region for all but especially the older adults Do not joke with this pls. It controls your appetite, immune system, linked to your heart, brain, neck, infact our entire system is so uniquely connected. 

Toothache is Here

 It is amazing 👏 Tooth and Gum Disease is here just like play. I began using all the natural tooth remedies that I knew, 😋 sometimes, it looks like it was working, at other times it seems all my effort amounted to nothing😭, the pain continued infact I cannot say exactly whether it was a pain or gangrene of the tooth but each time I am set to sleep, It starts aching and one particular one down to the center of my brain. My concentration and focus was reducing each day. But I continued testing and trying all that  I knew including monitoring my sugar and of course each time I tried to bite on carbs or sweet stuff, it says No. I tried and prayed to God in the little way because, my people, it is better to pray when we are bubbling because some situations makes concentration for prayers difficult. But It does not matter how short the prayer, One thing I do know is that God hears it. even the groaning and mutterings, He hears too. 

It's time for Laboratory test

There is one thing I have always told us here and still maintain and that is what I practice also. If a situation persists we must submit ourselves for Laborafory investigation for any tests and follow prescriptions. So I always practice what I teach. So as the inconvenience persisted resisting most home remedies. I went for laboratory tests. Cholesterol was OK PCV abi na PVC😄was okay and others. So I moved to Dentist. After due consultation and examinations, I had the most painless tooth extracted😍🤗

And a few prescription drugs, pain relievers, warm salt water gaggle regularly for 7 days. And six months to comeback for teeth washing. The Dentist had told me that teeth washing is neccassary for all especially older adults. I have agreed with all the recommendations My people, Na my story be this oh.

My Lessons From the Experience 

What New Lessons did I get

Lesson  1. 

 The Coconut oil pulling and rinse was working but overtime I neglected it for more than 2 months and see costs of various tests, pain and final extraction that followed. Disease is always more expensive. We believe in prevention here. Infact, in one of the nights the sensation was unexplainable and I just remembered and used cold pressed to massaged my gum and everything calmed down. It works. We should not neglect those little rituals, we do to keep us healthy. If you keep off from them, you will be shocked the amount and pain you may probably go through. We believe strongly in prevention. 

 Lesson 2 

We keep learning, it is not over until it is over I learned in this experience that there must come a time we will need attention of experts. Thank God for Scientist. Doctors, Dentists and other health professionals I salute you all,💪 if you are in the house, you can  I say Kudos to all Scientists here.  

Lesson 3:  

 Older Adult should endeavour to keep cash available although we already know this but for emphasis. The exercise too reasonable cash from me but assuming it was not available, play play person go kpa🙄, but I know God's grace will always be available. Cash is everything. May God continue to provide for us directly or indirectly so that when need arises, we will meet up. The bible says, Money is a defense. Both physical and spiritual defence May God provide for us all. 

 Lesson 4 Occasional check up is good, 

Although me I am lacking in this area. Since 2010 till date until this tooth matter, I have not willingly gone to hospital for check up or any such. After that sickness thought me most bitter lessons in years past. If you need to see eye doctor do, if ear doctor, if teeth doctor do, if bone doctor whichever is applicable, honestly it is part of the aging process. Some are so blessed that they do not have issues but that is not to say that those who have are of lesser faith. God is over all and it is all of Grace. 

 Lesson 5  No matter the situation or pain, Never forget to carry God along,

 He is always there. May be He wants you to learn a lesson so that like myself if someone says tooth is aching, you will understand or ear is paining. Or eyes. May None of these organs pain us in Jesus Name.  or even fail in our lives to do their work.  In everything, To God be the Glory, the extraction of the tooth marked the end of the pain. Instantly. Though I tried to ask the dentist what caused it, He said, as long as you are eating and chewing. Again, He noted that most people in my age category are on either hypertension drug or diabetes so extracting the teeth possesses more risking of bleeding and not healing in case of diabetes and increase risk of complications due to regular daily gargle with table salt water for 7 days.
