A cold day in Delhi is not one to be very good to be in if you have tooth ache. When I landed up the other day it was foggy and cold and I was having the tooth ache on the left upper molars where the filling had fallen off a year back. I had not cared to fill it up as the city town was a fair 15 miles away and the tooth was not giving any pain.
In our style of living, we do something when we have trouble with it, or else we leave it as such undisturbed. I did not think that it will disturb me but now it has started disturbing. The Hazrat Nizamuddin Railway Station was cold and was becoming colder by the minute on a cold evening at 8 pm. A cold breeze was making things worse. We scrambled into the nearest taxi and reached home to cry on the paining tooth and the spreading pain. The shearing pain spread all over the left of the face bringing tears in the left eye!
The next day a visit to the nearest doctor brought a few medicines for pain and antibiotics for healing which gave allergy and my lips started to get swollen with a tongue paining at the beginning! A dentist specialist advised further antibiotic and not chewing with the paining tooth, and asked to wait for the new medicine to take effect and the inflammation to subside and then to come for root canal etc.
I will go for it. I am convinced! When I was young, my mother, my father and other elders used to get tooth ache from time to time and when they complained I never understood the gravity of their pain..! Now I do understand! When it happens to oneself, one understands! Or understands the best!
The pain has receded for a bit, the inflammation is gone after five days of continued medication, but the procedure of root canal and restoration is to be done yet. I have to get it fixed. I spend time with google blogging and fb checking, two favorite of these days as one is getting more and more away from others and group activities are becoming lesser and lesser due to movement and non-movement.
After two days, II went to the Dentist and this time, she rubbed out a lot of decayed tooth parts and filled it up with some item which has relieved the pain. The climate improvement has also given a good turn as the sun has started coming up during the day time. Altogether, it is a welcome sign as the pain suffered so far was too harsh. No body wants to take that kind of pain on a cold day!
The Dentist has assured that the in two more sittings, a permanent crown or something will be fixed and that will be that. I agree as I have a tooth already capped earlier. Once the climate improves things will be better!

The climate improved. Two weeks had gone by with a lot of anti-biotics and allergy and further anti-allergy medicines. In between the Dentist saw me and rubbed out a lot of the tooth parts and suggested me not to eat with that side of the jaw till I was allowed later. There was pain after the rubbing which was controlled by an occasional pain killer tablet. The pain decreased now. By this time a stub of the tooth is left in the tooth area and a part is filled with some medication. Now the wait is for a crown in ceramic.
The sunny days improve the condition of the teeth. Until the tooth are worn out, they hold on what may come, hot or cold, but once they start wearing out, oh..the change in temperature sends shock waves to the brain to make a person to wish for a better condition.
Yesterday, I had been checked and a clay mould had been used in my mouth for take an impression of the area where I want the tooth. Today, I am to get it redone as the earlier impression I am told is not properly decipherable by the laboratory man. Did it! There is no other go. Once anybody is down with health problems, things slowly multiply and at times for no apparent reason. However, a saving grace is theere, the climate is steadily improving with a cold climate slowly giving way to a lot of warmth and sunny days which brings up the temperature! It is surprising, a sunny climate always go well with human beings!
