Ladies,
My husband had an appointment on July 6th for a dental cleaning. We set that up at my last cleaning in April. At the time, we couldn't remember the first day of his school's summer quarter.
He and I just knew it was early July. Naturally, when we checked, the date he started back to school was July 6th. Later, I canceled his appointment and said we would call back later to reschedule.
My DH is good about brushing his teeth but hadn't had a dental appointment in a few years.
We are both off this week - me from work, him from school. On Monday, we get a phone call from our dentist asking if hubby wanted to come in Tuesday to get his cleaning. We went in Tuesday and after he was done, he called me to the check out window. He was discouraged. Come to find out he did have two cavities but, worse, he had a tooth that was partially gone because of a cavity gone too far.
My hubby never told me he had pain from that area and that later part of the tooth had broken off. This must have been going on for a long time.
Blessedly, he was able to get in the next day to get the tooth pulled. It wasn't very pleasant at all because the dentist had a difficult time finding a part to grasp onto.
Now, he's healing and slowly feeling a little better each hour. We still need to get the other two cavities filled when he's all healed.
I wonder though, if this tooth could have been affecting his count any? They say even a cold can cause a man's count to be lowered. Maybe now that this tooth is out and he heals, his count, motility, and morphology may be greatly improved.
Hope I'm not grasping at straws. What do you all think?
