Dream
I was at a house with family, including people and animals that have passed away. The people who have passed away were at a different table than us, but I didn't want them to feel left out, so I scooted my butt out to make room for everyone. Koda, my dog who had passed away, happily jumped into his seat while my grandma who had passed, instead of being happy, she seemed disinterested, which was odd. I told her not to fret, and no one forgot about you, but there just wasn't enough room. She walked over to her seat, still looking sad and disinterested. I was worried something was off but couldn't help her as my mouth started to hurt. Since I was around everyone, I couldn't show it, and they'd all think I'm just trying to leave, so I keep my mouth shut (literally). All of a sudden, when trying to talk, my teeth start to fall out. One back upper left molar, my permanent retainer keeping my bottom front teeth together, and one whole part of my lower right jaw with two teeth still on there. The power right portion of the jaw had black necrosis coming out of the root (pulp) of the teeth and was oozing out of the middle of the jaw. This was especially weird as I just saw the dentist a month or two ago and they said everything looks fine. I excuse myself away with this evidence, and try to stay calm. No one else decided to help me, so I was deciding for myself if I wanted to drive myself to the ER or if I should call an ambulance. While I was debating, I somehow walked myself into a transformed hospital, and they started taking me seriously right away. I still had that part of my jaw in my hand as proof. My mouth felt numb, no pain, and didn't feel like it was bleeding. I thought this was odd and thought I was dreaming. I then tried to awake from the dream because I knew this wasn't real, but that's when the pain started to kick in. Every time I would try and talk, more teeth would try to fall out or the swelling would get so bad, I would talk through muffled speach. It seemed like the ER was busy, so I tried to assure them that it's ok and that I could wait, but I couldn't assure myself, as I was unsure if the severity of the situation.
