What to Do If You Lose an Adult Tooth While Traveling

Traveling can be an exhilarating experience, filled with new sights, sounds, and adventures. However, amidst the excitement, unexpected mishaps can occur, including dental emergencies. Losing an adult tooth while traveling can be distressing, but knowing what steps to take can make all the difference in preserving your oral health and preventing further complications. In this comprehensive guide, we'll explore the causes of tooth loss, immediate actions to take, long-term solutions, and tips for preventing dental emergencies while traveling.

Understanding Tooth Loss:

Before delving into what to do if you lose an adult tooth while traveling, it's essential to understand the common causes of tooth loss. Traumatic injuries, such as falls, sports accidents, or vehicular collisions, can result in the sudden dislodgment of a tooth. Additionally, untreated dental conditions like gum disease and tooth decay can weaken the structures supporting the teeth, leading to eventual tooth loss. Understanding the underlying cause can help determine the appropriate course of action.

Immediate Actions:

Stay Calm: While losing a tooth can be alarming, maintaining composure is crucial. Panicking can cloud judgment and hinder effective decision-making.

Locate the Tooth: If possible, find the lost tooth and handle it carefully by the crown (the visible part), avoiding touching the root.

Rinse Gently: Clean the dislodged tooth with water or saline solution to remove any debris or dirt. Avoid scrubbing or using soap, as this can damage the delicate tissues.

Reinsertion: If the tooth is clean and undamaged, attempt to reinsert it into its socket. Hold it in place by gently biting down on a clean cloth or tissue.

Preserve the Tooth: If reinsertion isn't possible, preserve the tooth by placing it in a container of milk or saliva. These substances help maintain the tooth's viability until professional treatment is available.

Seek Immediate Dental Care: Contact a local dentist or emergency dental clinic as soon as possible. Time is of the essence in potentially saving the tooth, so prompt treatment is crucial.

Long-Term Solutions:

Dental Implants: If the lost tooth cannot be saved, dental implants offer a permanent solution. This involves surgically implanting a titanium post into the jawbone, onto which a lifelike prosthetic tooth is attached.

Bridges: Dental bridges consist of artificial teeth anchored to adjacent natural teeth or dental implants. They restore both function and aesthetics, filling the gap left by the missing tooth.

Dentures: For individuals missing multiple teeth, removable or fixed dentures provide a cost-effective solution. These prosthetic devices mimic the appearance and function of natural teeth, enhancing chewing ability and speech clarity.

Bone Grafting: In cases where the jawbone has deteriorated due to tooth loss, bone grafting procedures can regenerate bone tissue, providing a stable foundation for dental implants.

Orthodontic Treatment: Tooth loss can disrupt the alignment of adjacent teeth, leading to bite problems and aesthetic concerns. Orthodontic interventions such as braces or clear aligners can realign the teeth and improve overall oral health.

Preventing Dental Emergencies While Traveling:

Prioritize Oral Hygiene: Maintain a regular oral hygiene routine, including brushing twice a day, flossing, and using antimicrobial mouthwash. Pack travel-sized dental products for convenience.

Wear Protective Gear: If engaging in high-risk activities such as sports or adventure sports, wear appropriate protective gear like mouthguards to minimize the risk of dental injuries.

Schedule a Dental Check-Up: Before embarking on a trip, schedule a dental check-up to address any underlying oral health issues and ensure your teeth are in optimal condition.

Pack an Emergency Kit: Prepare a dental emergency kit containing essentials such as gauze, a small container, over-the-counter pain relievers, and the contact information of local dentists or dental clinics at your destination.

Avoid Chewing Hard Objects: Refrain from chewing on hard objects like ice cubes, popcorn kernels, or pen caps, as these can damage the teeth and increase the risk of tooth fractures or dislodgment.

Losing an adult tooth while traveling can be a daunting experience, but with prompt action and appropriate treatment, the situation can be managed effectively. By staying calm, taking immediate steps to preserve the tooth, and seeking professional dental care, you can maximize the chances of saving your tooth and safeguarding your oral health.

Additionally, adopting preventive measures and maintaining good oral hygiene practices can minimize the risk of dental emergencies while traveling, allowing you to enjoy your adventures with peace of mind. Remember, your oral health is an integral part of your overall well-being, so prioritize it wherever your travels may take you.

January 11th 2024

Yeah its been a while since i updated. I haven't had the energy to if i'm honest, but here we go.

Hubby had his brain surgery end of November '23. The tumour they took out was a nasty one, somewhere between the size of a golf ball and a kiwi fruit. The wound has healed well with little to no side affects apart from some double vision, but he was checked out for that and it is a common after affect of brain trauma and was remedied with an eyepatch for a few weeks.

We met with the Neuro Oncology team at Royal Marsden Hospital in London. They are one of the best (if not the best) cancer treatment centres in the whole country, and we worked through a treatment plan.

Just before Christmas hubby was also cleared to have shoulder reconstructive surgery (he broke his shoulder bone in the original seizures back at the end of October '23). There was a really small window of time between it being enough time after the brain surgery that he could go back under general anaesthetic, but also enough time to mostly heal before he started Radiotherapy and Chemo, so just 5 days before Christmas hubby was in and out of our local hospital in a single day to have that surgery.

Christmas was a quiet and subdued affair. I also herniated a disk in my back the day Hubby had surgery (i was clearing the deep freeze out ready for grocery delivery), so it meant both he and I were dosed up to our eyeballs on strong painkillers for most of the holiday, and Little Dude spent the majority of the break either playing video games or building his new lego sets.

Two days before Christmas i also had to have emergency dental work (i had been grinding my teeth and had previously cracked a tooth) and whilst i was in the dentists office some utter idiot crashed into my car. That was the last thing i needed but i simply handed it all over to my insurance company (who are aware of my husbands situation) and they arranged a hire vehicle and sorted repairs.

Onto the start of 2024. This is the first week of Radiotherapy and Chemo for Hubby. He is getting very tired and fatigued already from the Radiotherapy, but thankfully no nausea from the chemo as yet, but that could change over time. He is scheduled for a full schedule of 6 weeks of this dual treatment, where we are having to visit Royal Marsden every day Mon - Fri for the six weeks, and then he also takes the chemo 7 days a week for the six weeks.

He'll then have 4 to 6 weeks 'off' treatment for his body to relax and recuperate, but will have scans and MRI's during that time to gauge what further treatment will be, but its likely to be just chemo but a stronger dose, but no radiotherapy. The chemo is to be 3 weeks off one week on, so a 4 weekly cycle.

The one thing we have discovered isn't done is prognosis's. When we first got to Royal Marsden we were shocked as they started talking about years, and explained that although it was a really nasty tumour, it was found very early and whilst it was still relatively small for its kind. They've discussed things like 'this years treatment plan then we'll look at next years', and also for a while Hubby was being considered for a clinical trial which candidates who have prognosis's of 12 months+ are only considered for. In the end he didn't meet the criteria (his cholesterol was too high). The Macmillian Nurses also have been talking to us about Mobility Car assistance schemes where you can get govt assistance financially and get an adapted vehicle on a 2 year rolling lease. All these timings are reassuring in one way, but worrying in another - we have no idea what the future holds and it really does cement in stone that our time is limited and could end any moment, and makes it very difficult to make any long term plans. You don't realise how much of your life is preplanned until you end up in this situation and aren't sure if you can book your kid onto the school residential trip in 5 months time.

Should anyone want the mundane daily day-to-day life updates you can follow me on my personal instagram @simone_with_an_e its generally a load of utter boring bollocks, but i try to keep it updated daily with updates when i can as its a lot easier to do 1 short paragraph than a big update.

For me my mental health is a little better now that i've had time to process Hubby's diagnosis and that he is getting treatment. There are still days or hours when i fall apart, and it could be something as simple as listening to a song on the radio as i drive back from dropping Little Dude at school and i realise the song would be lovely at his funeral. I end up having to pull over and have a cry whilst switching the radio off. I'm loosing weight and aging quickly, my hair is turning grey from stress and i realised i've aged about 15 years in the last 3 from stress. My appetite comes and goes, and things like red meat now turn my stomach and i can't digest it. But i also haven't drunk alcohol since the day before Hubby had his seizure back in October. I feel like i need to stay 'alert' in case i need to rush him to the hospital for something. I don't miss it as such, but I miss the ability to fully relax. Its hard to describe but i feel like at the moment i've lost myself and am just functioning to care for those around me, going through the motions as such.

Anyway, this has been a long update. I do still lurk here, you may see me pop up in notifications liking something, but at the moment i don't feel its right to start putting fandom stuff back on here yet. I do hope to get back to writing at some point. I miss it and the unfinished stories plague my mind as i have such lovely plans for story arc's and really want to finish them.

Take care all,

Schnauz

Here's a job for Steve that maybe not a lot of people know is a thing: non-emergency medical transportation for rural areas.

It's basically a taxi service for under-served populations that don't necessarily have a car or someone who can drive them to the doctor, urgent care, dentist, pharmacy, etc., and also for hospitals to call when someone in that category is being discharged and needs a ride home.

Because Steve is used to giving people rides, right? He drove Robin to school every day her senior year without even realizing she didn't have her own driver's license, he just did it.

Maybe it's a job he picks up part time while studying at a local community college.

And maybe one day he arrives to pick up a hospital discharge, under some name he doesn't recognize, but he knows the face immediately and vice versa. The other man pales, but still climbs into the car and rests his walking cane across his knees, and it's Eddie Munson's world-weary voice floating all the way up to Steve from 1986:

"Hey there, big boy."

According to Fransisco Alcina, who spent three decades of his religious mission in the Visayas, the Bisaya offered buyo [betel] as “the first courtesy” to guests, especially to those with high rank.

(…) Under normal circumstances, it was the women of the household who were tasked to offer buyo as a gesture of hospitality. The main matriarch handed them out when high-ranking personalities came to visit. Guests of no remark received them from female slaves. Already we see an implicit message of acceptance embedded in the act of giving buyo, and this is perhaps what makes it a clear and viable signal for sexual consent: the presence of those who receive buyo is welcomed, and by extension, those who seek sex is invited to do so when it is offered to them. Moreover, the buyo has a cosmetic component that caters to Bisaya visual preferences. Though having darkened teeth, gums, and lips may not look that alluring nowadays, and will most likely lead to an appointment with a dentist rather than being invited on a romantic night out, for the ancient Bisaya and their nearby Southeast Asian cousins these were the hallmarks of charm and allure. In his 1923 classic Malay Poisons and Charm Cures, British physician John Desmond Gimlette reports that in British Malaya the resultant “hue being communicated” after chewing buyo “is esteemed ornamental”, and that the areca, betel, and lime are the “mode of conveying philtres, or love charms.” One possible explanation emerges from this realisation: women give buyo to ensure that their partners remain or become attractive during sex. This notion is somewhat reinforced by the fact that chewing buyo slightly alleviated bad breath ("corrige el aliento").

But more than just a key to satisfy the pleasures of the flesh, buyo was also used in keeping both body and mind fit and healthy. It was an important item in local materia medica, used to treat certain diseases and discomforts of the inner constitution. For example, according to Alcina, topical application with mild pressure of the buyo leaf on the forehead relieved migraines. Boiled bonga seeds calmed agitated bowels. As can be seen, it is clear that the act of giving buyo carried with it a constellation of meanings premised under the ethos of accommodation not limited to household hospitality or sex, but it encompassed healing as well. Unwelcome guests receive none of it during their visit. Sexual prospects deemed insufficient or unattractive are refused from receiving it. Yet, in both cases, they can still be offered buyo if they are enduring certain ills, regardless of their initial intentions.

Excerpt from “The Uses of Buyo and Bonga in Ancient Visayas” (2022) by Pippo Carmona

[forest-of-stories]

[Hey @venusdear (and other interested parties), I'm working on another Hypnotists fic! I started out with a Five Things format but realized along the way that I couldn't sustain it.]

Jack and his family are definitely hiding something, but the longer they’ve been in town, the more Felicity has suspected that they’re also hiding from something.

She can’t always tell what his parents and uncle argue about, but the phrases “low profile” and “no choice” come up a lot.  (So does the word “bloodline,” which Felicity has never heard anybody say in real life.)  The Magnuses seem to brace themselves whenever they walk to the mailbox or answer phone calls.  And Jack isn’t the only one who stays home in the evenings: outside of school and work hours, Felicity rarely sees any of them venture further than the backyard that faces her own.  Sometimes Mrs. Magnus brings a glass of wine outside with her and sits alone in one of the shabby lawn chairs, and once or twice, she looks like she’s crying.

Maybe all of this has something to do with the limo that picked Jack up from school a couple of weeks after the final chess tournament… and every day after that, even if it no longer parks in the bus lane.  Felicity knows that he’s not actually going to daily dentist appointments, but more than a few of the family’s arguments – before they started leaving the blinds closed almost constantly – have been about some doctor or other.  She hasn’t figured out how he fits in, either.

The next time she’s on Main Street, she notices that the town’s only pay phone is occupied –  and for the first time in years – by none other than Jack’s uncle.  For some reason, she thinks about spies in old movies, having secret conversations in phone booths.

“If I could be in two places at once, I would!” he says sharply.  He doesn’t seem to notice that she’s nearby.  “But I can’t take care of my local errands and make sure nothing happens to the rest of you, so you just have to look after each other.”

He replaces the receiver and turns around, and Felicity backs away just in time.  When she sees Arielle and Sofia emerge from the Smoothie Operator, each carrying a clear plastic cup piled with brightly colored slush, she picks up speed and hurries in the opposite direction.  The two of them haven’t spoken to her in several days, since she canceled their weekend plans at the last minute in order to, in Arielle’s words, “stalk a guy who doesn’t even like you back.”  She wishes that she could explain to them that the stakes are higher than a date to the next formal, but if she wants Jack to trust her, it certainly won’t help to share her suspicions with others, especially since they haven’t quite taken shape within her own mind.

This flu might actually be an abscessed wisdom tooth and I tried calling an emergency hotline to get an ok to go the er to get it checked out urgently (despite being absolutely terrified of dentists, but this is serious with the fever and everything), but haha, there is no emergency dentist in this city during the weekends :))) I’d need to go to another city for it tomorrow, but man, it’s difficult to get there without a car and I don’t even have that kind of money for a taxi to there and back… I could take a train and bus there, but with this stupid ass fever it feels impossible.

”Funnily” the website of the local hospital says that they have emergency dentists available, so wtf??? No mention of there not being such service during the weekends??

Booking a private dentist appointment for tomorrow is an option, but then again… money…

I think I’m gonna cry some more and eat a banana and go back to sleep if I can.

#the dude on the phone was literally just like ’’well try to survive until monday then’’ #thanks #the pain is thankfully mild and tolerable with regular painkillers but :(( #i’m scared that it’ll get much worse #the lymph node underneath the tooth started swelling up in the afternoon #coupled with this tooth ache which is why i didn’t go see a dentist on wednesday when the fever started #i thought it was a flu because of the sore muscles and stuff #anxiety + depression + extreme fear of dentists is such a shitty combo #can’t recommend #my teeth are fucked

Why a £200+ Trip to a Private Dentist Landed Me in Hospital (not clickbait)

Basically, I've had this weird hard mass/lump in my upper left jaw for the past two years. It feels like part of the bone has gone wonky or something, and it appeared pretty randomly. As it hasn't been causing me pain and I feel perfectly fine otherwise, I didn't do anything about it. I had one on the other side (though slightly smaller) a few years ago and that disappeared as randomly as it came. I assumed the same would happen and haven't really thought much of it.

Anyway, a month or so ago, I had to see a dentist about an unrelated dental issue - I had pain in a lower-left molar and it felt cracked. They reviewed, x-rayed, and filled the tooth, in a relatively painless procedure. Whilst there, however, they did their due diligence and raised concerns about the lump because they had no idea what it was, and couldn't rule out that it might be cancerous.

In an admirable display of thoroughness, they sent their xrays to the hospital and helped me as I dried my tears. You can't throw the C Word around with my family medical history and expect me not to panic, after all.

A couple of weeks later and I'm being poked and prodded by a specialist who looks at the xrays and listens to my anecodotal experience and thinks it's highly unlikely it's anything malicious (for a myriad of reasons) but doesn't know what it actually is.

He scheduled a CT scan and a biopsy and asks if, while I'm under local for the biopsy, I'd like them to remove a wisdom tooth that, according to the xray the dentist sent, is rotting under the gum line. The tooth didn't hurt and wasn't bothering me but if they think it may cause a problem later and I'll already be numb, they may as well take it out. In for a penny and all that...

Two weeks later, I was scanned in a process akin to sticking my head in a washing machine that takes literally 5 minutes. A week after that (this past Tuesday), and I was lying in a dentist chair, jabbed with about 5 or 6 doses of something that left my face numb for nearly three hours, and am now minus a tooth and part of whatever the mass in my face is. I was stitched up, given a prescription of antibiotics and told to salt water rinse my mouth 3-4 times a day.

I was also told that the tooth they removed wasn't a wisdom tooth but a supernumerary tooth of another kind, likely a canine. I just assumed the tooth hadn't come through properly and that's why it was rotting but no. In a bizarre and rare twist of inherited genetics, my mouth decided to grow a random tooth where it shouldn't be. My mystery mouth continues to baffle maxillo-facial specialists across the county.

Test results will be mailed to me but I likely won't hear about that for a while. My face is swollen to buggery (but it's going down!) and the stitches, while dissolvable, are a little irritating.

Basically waiting for the next phase which depends on the results of the biopsy. Whatever it throws up, I'll likely be needing a certain level of facial surgery but results will determine how they go about it.

And all because I needed an emergency filling.

Ratchet knows he is a great doctor.

Is not a matter of pride, that's simply a fact.

Bulkhead was a brute with a surprisingly good taste for the fine arts, Arcee could and would kick anyone's aft if provoked enough, Bumblebee had a violent streak that he desperately tries to hide, Optimus has a thing for fliers, and Ratchet is the greatest grumpiest doctor to come out off of Cybertron.

But that medical knowledge was reserved for cybertronians only.

When organics were involved? Ratchet knew only the barest of basics.

Boiling down to "don't step on them" basics.

This was by choice.

It was bad enough to have to spend time in this dirt ball of a planet, with their tiny locals crawling all over the place like nanobots with no processor power to speak of.

He was not going to waste his time learning about their primitive biological bodies, much less how to treat them.

They had their own doctors, they can make due. He had his own people to look after.

Then the sparklings, the children moved into their base.

They were somehow worse than the few humans he was already forced to interact with. Too loud, too tiny, too curious.

Too reckless.

The smaller one, Rafael, was in one of the balconies the humans built around the base, a pointless attempt to be closer to optic level. He was standing atop of a small crate, leaning over the railing to get a closer look at Ratchet's hands as they typed away.

Apparently, the human was interested in learning cybertronian glyphs, ha! As if an organic brain had the memory capacity to learn such advanced language.

Then the human's foothold slipped from under him, making him slam his faceplate on the metal railing.

Immediately, the human started wailing. Apparently, humans came with some sort of imitation siren alarm installed.

Ratchet ignored the sound and continued working.

Jack, the tallest of the kids (but still diminute), rushed to Rafael, seemingly in a panic. Bah, the railing was just hollow metal, and he'd seen some humans punch each other in the face out of boredom. A simple tap should not be cause for such urgency.

Then Jack gently lifted Rafael's head, and Ratchet froze.

Rafael was leaking a lot of energon.

Ratchet couldn't really tell if it was coming out of his nose or mouth, but his entire lower face, neck, and part of his shirt was already covered in the stuff.

Jack picked him up with little effort, same style of carry thay he'd seen soldiers carry injured allies, and ran out of the room.

Ratchet stood there, work momentarily forgotten.

He leaned down to take a closer look to the railing, now also stained with organic energon, but otherwise intact.

Careful, he poked the point of impact.

The railing bent under his finger.

He didn't see Rafael till the next day.

The kid didn't seem to be in any pain, only mild discomfort, as he explained to a worried Bumblebee (who was absent yesterday) about an emergency trip to a dentist office.

Apparently, the hit had not only broken one of his teeth but also made him bite his lip hard enough that he needed some stitching.

And Ratchet had ignored him.

If the injury needed a trip to a professional, it must have been more serious than he realized. Not to mention the amount of lost energon (blood, it's called blood).

How much blood can a human lose before it's lethal? Specially such a tiny human like Rafael.

If Jack hadn't been in the room, would Ratchet just stand there as the kid died?

Later that day, Miko stood precariously on top on some crates, and Ratchet gave her a lecture on how fragile human skeleton were, the dangers of concussions caused by falling on one's head, brain damage, etc.

Human medical knowledge was easy to find and download.

And human medicine and medical tools were already ordered through the proper channels and on their way to the base.

Ratchet was a great doctor.

And no great doctor just stays in place while someone is injured.

Chapter 3. Economy

How will people get healthcare?

Capitalists and bureaucrats see healthcare as an industry — a way to extort money from people in need — and also as a way to appease the population and prevent rebellion. It’s no surprise that the quality of the healthcare often suffers. In the richest country in the world, millions have no access to healthcare, including this author, and every year hundreds of thousands of people die from preventable or treatable causes.

Since poisonous working and living conditions and lack of healthcare have always been major grievances within capitalism, providing healthcare is generally a chief goal of anti-capitalist revolutionaries. For example, unemployed piqueteros and neighborhood assemblies in Argentina commonly set up clinics or take over and fund existing hospitals left defunct by the state.

During the Spanish Civil War, Barcelona’s Medical Syndicate, organized largely by anarchists, managed 18 hospitals (6 of which it had created), 17 sanatoria, 22 clinics, 6 psychiatric establishments, 3 nurseries, and one maternity hospital. Outpatient departments were set up in all the principal localities in Catalunya. Upon receiving a request, the Syndicate sent doctors to places in need. The doctor would have to give good reason for refusing the post, “for it was considered that medicine was at the service of the community, and not the other way round.”[40] Funds for outpatient clinics came from contributions from local municipalities. The anarchist Health Workers’ Union included 8,000 health workers, 1,020 of them doctors, and also 3,206 nurses, 133 dentists, 330 midwives, and 153 herbalists. The Union operated 36 health centers distributed throughout Catalunya to provide healthcare to everyone in the entire region. There was a central syndicate in each of nine zones, and in Barcelona a Control Committee composed of one delegate from each section met once a week to deal with common problems and implement a common plan. Every department was autonomous in its own sphere, but not isolated, as they supported one another. Beyond Catalunya, healthcare was provided for free in agrarian collectives throughout Aragon and the Levant.

Even in the nascent anarchist movement in the US today, anarchists are taking steps to learn about and provide healthcare. In some communities anarchists are learning alternative medicine and providing it for their communities. And at major protests, given the likelihood of police violence, anarchists organize networks of volunteer medics who set up first aid stations and organize roving medics to provide first aid for thousands of demonstrators. These medics, often self-trained, treat injuries from pepper spray, tear gas, clubs, tasers, rubber bullets, police horses, and more, as well as shock and trauma. The Boston Area Liberation Medic Squad (BALM Squad) is an example of a medic group that organizes on a permanent basis. Formed in 2001, they travel to major protests in other cities as well, and hold trainings for emergency first aid. They run a website, share information, and link to other initiatives, such as the Common Ground clinic described below. They are non-hierarchical and use consensus decision-making, as does the Bay Area Radical Health Collective, a similar group on the West Coast.

Between protests, a number of radical feminist groups throughout the US and Canada have formed Women’s Health Collectives, to address the needs of women. Some of these collectives teach female anatomy in empowering, positive ways, showing women how to give themselves gynecological exams, how to experience menstruation comfortably, and how to practice safe methods of birth control. The patriarchal Western medical establishment is generally ignorant of women’s health to the point of being degrading and harmful. An anti-establishment, do-it-yourself approach allows marginalized people to subvert a neglectful system by organizing to meet their own needs.

After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, activist street medics joined a former Black Panther in setting up the Common Ground clinic in one of the neediest neighborhoods. They were soon assisted by hundreds of anarchists and other volunteers from across the country, mostly without experience. Funded by donations and run by volunteers, the Common Ground clinic provided treatment to tens of thousands of people. The failure of the government’s “Emergency Management” experts during the crisis is widely recognized. But Common Ground was so well organized it also out-performed the Red Cross, despite the latter having a great deal more experience and resources.[41] In the process, they popularized the concept of mutual aid and made plain the failure of the government. At the time of this writing Common Ground has 40 full-time organizers and is pursuing health in a much broader sense, also making community gardens and fighting for housing rights so that those evicted by the storm will not be prevented from coming home by the gentrification plans of the government. They have helped gut and rebuild many houses in the poorest neighborhoods, which authorities wanted to bulldoze in order to win more living space for rich white people.

親知らず Wisdom teeth (0320 レッスンメモ)

このレッスンメモを二部に分けます。この部分は、最近親知らずを抜いたこと��先生に話したから、それについて話しました。

Will make the notes for 0320 class into two parts. This part was because I shared with my sensei that I had my wisdom tooth extracted, so we talked about it.

Vocabulary

親知らず (おやしらず) - Wisdom teeth. In Japanese, this phrase literally means "parent-not-know." The idea behind the name is that wisdom teeth typically appear much later in life, often between the ages of 17 and 25. By the time these teeth emerge, it is traditionally thought that the individual is older and presumably wiser, and possibly living away from home—hence, the parents may not be aware ("not know") of these new teeth appearing.

麻酔 (ますい) - Anesthesia.

全身麻酔 (ぜんしんますい) - general anesthesia.

部分麻酔 (ぶぶんますい) - local anesthesia.

歯茎 (はぐき) - Gums.

注射 (ちゅうしゃ) する - To inject.

麻薬中毒 (まやくちゅうどく) - Drug addiction.

定期チェック - Regular check-up.

同意書 (どういしょ) - Agreement form.

Phrases

歯医者に行きました。I went to the dentist.

親知らずを抜きます。（抜く）Pull out wisdom teeth.

歯茎に麻酔を注射する。Inject anesthesia into the gums.

歯医者さんは「この親知らずを抜いた方がいいです」と言いました。

Today was a bit of a free-ish day.

My hubs had to go to the girls' dentist for a consultation about fixing their cavities. As such, my mom drove me to take the girls to school so that she could also drive me to the campus (since I have to be there eto sign into school everyday as a safety precaution) this allowed me.to avoid taking the bus for once.

On the wya to campus, I had to stop at the local library to drop some books I ntje depository to return them. I had to do the same on campus with all the books I borrowed to read over spring break.

Due to a family health emergency, Dr. B wasn't able to lecture my 930 or 1230 class. The suddenness of the emergency had her unable to a) prep an online lecture and b) unable to secure a sub for the classes. So, we were just able to have an excused absence. With Dr. E in Cali for a conference, her class was online today.

I still went to the campus to meet with my study group and revise for the upcoming exam in ECED 293.

Our online lecture for Dr. E's class (EDUC 202) was on Howard Gardener and his theory of multiple intelligences. After the lecture, we were all instructed to take a free online test to see which three intelligences were our strongest. We then had to write a reflection on our results for a grade.worth up to 15 points.

I went home on the next bus after I was done using the rented study room to complete my 202 work.

After school, as shown by the photos, the hubs and I took the girls to their first softball practice of the season. They did quite well considering it was their first time being with the team.

Spaghetti, slad, and garlic toast were for dinner as they offered enough carbs to replenish all the energy the girls lost during practice (thank you high school cross country team for that tip)
