wisdom teeth question

My 20 year old daughter had her wisdom teeth out on Friday. She went to have the stitches out and told the dentist that she has no feeling in part of her lip. The dentist says it is rare but it may never come back. He said that you can go to Boston or New York to reconnect the nerve which is a lengthy process and has to be done in 2 months. She is in college (a little hard to do). I keep telling her to give it more time, it has only been 5 days maybe it will get better. She is hysterical over this. Has anyone else run into this with wisdom teeth.

wisdom teeth
I am a former dental assistant. I worked for a dentist for seven years, and we made sure that people knew that nerve damage could occur. I have seen a couple of these cases, and they all regained the feeling eventually. As far as time frame, unfortunately everyone is different.
Wisdom teeth (sm)
I'm not sure about ulcers becoming cancerous, although I would think so. But wisdom teeth can become a chronic problem with infection, bite problems, etc. Go to an oral surgeon.He can put you under and you won't even know it's happening. The next thing you know you'll be in the recovery area and it will be all over.
My words of wisdom
Why, yes, yes I am! If you don't like my company, please move on! This company has been in business for many, many years and I intend to keep it that way. None of you little peon transcriptionists can do anything to change that. I want only positive and productive transcriptionists working for me, and sorry honey, but you do not fall into that category. If I am such a bad, bad man, then why I ask, do you take my money every 2 weeks in your paycheck? Good golly ladies, get a life and leave my company alone. I do have lots and lots of competitors out there so go see how happy you are with them, but I will tell you right now this door only swings one way so don't come crawling back a cryin' saying you had it too good here - as the saying goes, "you don't know what you got til it's gone." For some, I understand that it will take you leaving to find that out and to that end, I say good riddens, adios amiogos, farewell, and goodbye.

Congratulations on the offer!!!
I really understand your predicament. Let me share with you something my aunt shared with me a few years ago.
She worked as a large company and was offered a promotion that came with a yearly salary as opposed to hourly wages. It looked like a very decent raise, and so she took the offer.
She said it was a very large mistake on her part. She was literally on-call 24/7, including weekends, holidays, vacation, etc. She was contacted at all hours day and night if there were a problem or concern. If staff was short due to call offs, she was expected to go in (even on holidays or her days off) to fill the void. If she tried to go on vacation, she had to leave contact information in case she was needed (and she was very frequently contacted about problems or with questions when she was supposedly on vacation).
I went to work for the same company several years later. I was quickly promoted, and my aunt told me to accept all of the offers of promotion I received UNLESS it comes with an annual salary rather than hourly pay. She said once she accepted the annual salary position, her life was not her own any longer, the company owned her 24/7 and 365. I always kept that in mind whenever I was offered a salaried position, whether by that particular company or any other company.
The job offer sounds wonderful, but if you can make that same amount of money now, and even more if you increase your hours with your current IC position, I'd suggest you give serious consideration to what sacrifices you may be required to make should you decide to accept the offer. As another poster said, sometimes it's not always good to rock the applecart unless you absolutely have to.
Good luck with your decision, whatever it may be, and keep us posted. If you do accept the other offer, I hope it turns out to a great decision for you.
I appreciate your wisdom and insight. Brava!

It is not that I am that "great". I learned that the only way to make money int his field is to have your own clients.
Any one of you MTs can do the same thing - just go for it!
Best of luck to you all of you.

does that ring a bell....hmmmm?
anyone grind their teeth?
I've done it for so long I know have extra growth of bone on upper and lower buccal mucosa. It looks unsightly, and I'm going to try to find an oral surgeon who can remove this. I'm also constantly burning it with food because it naturally drops there. I'm seeing a dentist to finally get fitted with a mouth piece, but I have my doubts about stopping the grinding! I take muscle relaxers, and Xanax, massage my jaws with warm clothes, and also sleep on a heating pad (burned myself a few weeks ago and woke up with welts and blisters) I just dont see an end to this. Anyone at all have success in stopping grinding??
Sorry, I can't get past the teeth..... : > lol

Elliott's teeth. sm
I noticed that during the initial audition. They are getting better, he has been having dental work done for at least the last two shows. He has such a nice voice, I am sure before the grand finale his teeth will look real nice.
A word about teeth--sm
keep your natural teeth for as long as you possibly can. swallow your fears about dentists and take care of what you have. Those pretty white straight dentures are torture chambers in disquise, and you will never again enjoy corn on the cob or dill pickels because when you try to bite them with dentures, they come loose. Your gums shrink over time and they never quite fit right, even the expensive jobs! It is just not worth it! Your own teeth can never be replaced by plastic and yours can be pretty and white too. These are just my experiences and thoughts. ks
brush my teeth
I stop the coffee 4 hours into my shift, it didn't help. Now, I fix a mug of ice water, have snacks similar to what has been suggested. I like salty snacks. I wash my face and brush my teeth, and it usually gets me through my shift.
I'm in the same boat trying to test for Diskriter. Any words of wisdom about getting

#5 by the skin of my teeth and with more hours than it took 5 years ago.
I agree. Now it seems the "in" thing is teeth cleaning sm
I'm fortunate in that I live in a small town and my vet is very good and very reasonable. Doesn't try to persuade you to have anything extra done but will do things if you want them done.
They must be so frustrated. Gnashing their evil-doing teeth. Trying new bait, tossing out the line.
But we're not gonna BITE! Have I mentioned to you that rabbits bite? Some do, though I don't think they particularly mean it...
Never eat it. Hate food on my face and stuck in my teeth, esp. in public! Gross either way. nm
