Tooth Extraction With Abscess, Is It Safe?

First born complained of tooth ache.. err no.. he was not just complaining, he’s wailing! He asked for tooth extraction.. he said he can’t bear the pain anymore..poor kid 🙁

Before we went to the dentist, I asked a few friends kung safe ba magpabunot ng ngipin kahit masakit or kung may maga?

Most of the answered no and the dentist said the same thing. Why? according to the dentist, the anesthesia won’t work if the patient is experiencing pain.. eh kung mataas ang pain tolerance? Hindi pa rin safe.. why?

The dentist explained that when an abscessed tooth is pulled out, the pus in the infection can go inside the root and can lead to a more serious infection. The dentist advised that my son take antibiotics for the infection and pain killer for the pain.

She prescribed Amoxicillin and Dolfenal for pain. She said to continue taking Dolfenal for 2 days even if there is no more pain since the med is also anti inflammatory.

Dolfenal contains mefenamic acid and is used for: (from Unilab website)

For the symptomatic relief of mild to moderately severe pain including headache, dental pain, post-operative and postpartum pain, primary dysmenorrhea, menorrhagia, and pain associated with cancer;
For the symptomatic relief of musculoskeletal and joint disorders including osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis;
For the treatment of soft tissue rheumatism, sprain/swelling of tendons (tendonitis) and low back pain

Still, he can’t have tooth extraction when the pain and the infection subsides.. according to the dentist, he needs to wait until he’s 12 before an extraction can be done. And to prevent tooth ache from happening again, the dentist advised the use of Mouthwash often and of course proper care of teeth such as brushing after eating.

Stress Free Moving

The process of moving from one place to another can be a very stressful and difficult period of time. The logistics alone can be enough to cause a significant amount of stress and they can make the whole process very uncomfortable. While there are a lot of things that a person simply cannot avoid when they are moving, there are things they can do to help assuage the difficulty the experience. Finding the right moving service, a simple way to change address, and switching over utilities can have a substantial impact on the amount of stress someone feels while moving.

The first step is of course finding a moving company that suits your needs. While this may seem like it’s easier said than done, the truth is that finding a great moving company doesn’t have to be a very difficult process. Doing a small amount of research into the background and work history of a moving company can be a good first start. There are many different websites available that provide customer reviews of all sorts of services. Using these resources to your advantage when looking for the right mover can make all the difference and it can save a lot of trouble.

Perhaps the most stressful and confusing part of moving is finding out where to go for utilities or where to switch over an address for necessary services. Using a concierge service that provides a free address change and home service connections can make the process much faster and much less stressful. Companies like Kandela Concierge Service have built their business around connecting new homeowners or renters with the necessary home services they’ll need when moving to a new area. It’s useful to use services like this because some parts of the country can be very difficult to find utilities in. This can be especially true when moving to an area where utilities have been deregulated by the state.

In the end, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when moving to a new area. While it’s not possible to make any move totally stress-free, using the right services can go a long way toward at least making it a bit less stressful. After all, it’s hard enough to manage the logistics of work, family and personal belongings. Throwing transport and utility logistics into the mix can be an unnecessary burden and can be avoided.

This Mom Has Pride!

Three things I am thankful for when in comes to home management:

washing machine
microwave
vacuum cleaner

These are my partners in making my mommy duties more efficient. I think I have mentioned before that we prepare our food in advance. I usually cook 2 weeks’ worth of food and just re heat it using microwave. It saves me a lot of time.

I also use vacuum cleaner to clean the house, specially the bedroom, it’s better since dust goes straight to the vacuum, unlike with the use of walis, where dust would scatter around the room.

And of course, washing machine! As a woman who can’t do one task at a time (a certified multi tasker here), the use of washing machine is my euphoria. I can cook, clean the house and even blog while the machine washes our clothes. It can be tiring at times but the fact that I can do a lot of things makes washing the laundry one my most favorite house hold chores (except folding clothes!). I still consider buying an automatic washing machine to save more time.. but for now, my old top loader washing machine is my ally, together with my favorite washing machine detergent for our clothes:

I have been using Pride Detergent for more than 10 years now. I love the smell it leaves on our clothes. And contrary to what others think, Pride is specially made for washing machine. Another reason why I love using Pride on our clothes is its Stain- Away formula.. clumsy po ako in person! As in! I’d always end up with a coffee stain on my clothes or sauce stains. I really noticed how Pride cleans my clothes very well, wala ng kusot kusot!

I also noticed that with Pride, rinsing is not a problem. Hindi siya mabula actually.. pero nakakalinis, thus making it easier to rinse. And since Pride has fine and pure granules (pure & no chalk), it does not clog the motor of our washing machine..malapit na mag 6 years ang wm ko, and so far wala namang problema 🙂

Mas hectic ang sched ko ngayon since my part time helper gave birth.. so even if she resumes work next year, I can’t let her do all the job.. mabuti na lang talaga may mga bagay na nagpapadali sa buhay ng mga bising nanay na gaya ko 🙂

How about you mommies? Do you also consider washing machine as one of the things that makes your life easier? Have you tried using Pride Detergent? Share us your story!
