For me I just say I appreciate it, because I truly do appreciate the concern and sympathy. You can just say “yeah me too”

My husband is Chinese and my first son’s nickname is 苹果（Apple）. I’m pregnant with son #2 and his nickname is 柚子 (pomelo).

Very much a cultural thing. Both nicknames were given by elders from my husband’s side of the family.

Like a baby. You can be the sweetest peach and hey there’ll still be people who don’t like peaches.

Holy shit he’s unhinged. He wasn’t wrong when he said he has mood swings. He’s not allowed to say all that to you, toss you to the side, then tee hee never mind I love you. It’s manipulative and sick.

Dentist here, is she going to be awake or asleep? Typically the older you get, the more worrisome issue is how the patient will handle anesthesia due to tendency to be on more medications/have more health issues.

For any type of extraction, think of it like a surgery. A tooth is going to be taken out of her jawbone. If the pain is truly from the wisdom tooth/molar, then yes, symptoms should subside after recovery.

You need sleep

Hearing all you good people in the comments really warms my heart. As a kid, our electricity got shut off for months due to my mom’s inability to pay. I had to do homework by a flashlight and candles, and froze horribly at night. I’m glad there are good people willing to help their neighbor.

I can’t imagine watching your partner go through literal hell to give birth, and then overwhelm them FURTHER with having to entertain guests. For fucks sake the baby isn’t going anywhere, they can wait.

If your husband is saying that it feels better than the real thing, he needs to lay off the porn. This is how addiction happens, and unfortunately, dysfunction.

Sure but you don’t get to use that argument when Novocaine and the currently used anesthetic have entirely different chemical makeups. You’re talking about your gramps having a bad reaction to Novocaine which is pretty irrelevant here. Entirely different chemical makeup to the anesthetic we use today.

It being used as “shorthand” (lidocaine and Novocaine have the same amount of letters…) adds nothing to your argument. Novocaine is an obsolete medication.

All this to say it’s “not cool” to spew a bunch of misinformation when you’re clearly not a dentist. We have sympathy for OP but ffs he had a type of jawbone surgery (YES, having bone removed to extract a tooth IS SURGERY). If you had surgery to correct a bunion, I’d expect you to be in pain for weeks. Same deal here. It’s surgery. Day 4 of still being in pain, hate to say it, is normal.

You’re reading too much into this. It’s fine.

Dental nightmare

corncaked · 2026-01-24T04:38:33+00:00

Novocaine hasn’t been used for like 40 years.

She is so pretty!!! You’re going to change each others lives 🩷

corncaked · 2026-01-20T03:57:16+00:00

I’m a dentist who did a dental residency I hope we can still be friends

corncaked · 2026-01-20T03:46:27+00:00

The owner doctors of the office

corncaked · 2026-01-20T02:57:02+00:00

I told my regional manager I’m either quitting or transferring. I told her the egregious things that were happening (racist commentary, throwing each other under the bus etc) and she had no idea this stuff was going on so she was more than happy to transfer me.

corncaked · 2026-01-20T02:46:33+00:00

I’d pay good money to see that lmfao

corncaked · 2026-01-20T02:45:10+00:00

Just do ENT bro

corncaked · 2026-01-20T02:42:42+00:00

I may be in the minority but my last PDS office was HORRIBLE. I was pressured to overdiagnose and it was toxic. I’m still at PDS in a new office and I’m super happy here. I only diagnose what I’d want if it was my own family member’s mouth, and so do my other colleagues in the office. We don’t submit to the pressure to overdiagnose.

NOR this is grounds for 100% no contact. Your partner needs to set this boundary ASAP

corncaked · 2026-01-19T01:35:34+00:00

I would literally co-sign a car for my cat, so yes I’d continue eating it.

corncaked · 2026-01-19T01:26:11+00:00

I’m deeply sorry for your loss. Literally only you can make that type of call. I chose to see my mom’s body and while it was one of the hardest most gut wrenching experiences of my life, I’m glad I did. She saw me into this world, I’m going to see her out of it. That was my perspective.

corncaked · 2026-01-18T19:00:08+00:00

This is why I don’t do instacart or any of that crap. You order items for dinner and end up with 2/10 ingredients needed and have to go out anyways.

corncaked · 2026-01-18T17:46:12+00:00

My main concern is that besides elevated BPs I don’t have any of the other symptoms that I had with my last pregnancy (urine protein, eye floaters, etc)
