today was one week since my procedure, and went for my check up and to get the stiches out,
Dr. said everything looked really good. I go back in a month to do a last impression, then my new teeth will get made (partial denture for the bottom)
as soon as I get all the bottom stuff squared away,
it'll be time to get'm ALL pulled on the top.
Im still taking motrin every 6 hours, but I havent needed the tylenol for a few days now. It feels SO MUCH better than it did a few weeks ago.
My dentist said this problem is becoming more and more 'popular' with the younger generation, not only becuase of meth use, which is what almost everyone thinks of right away.
he says the drymouth caused by alot of pain pills, which everyone knows is VERY common these days, Makes ANYTHING and everything you eat or drink STICK like tar to your teeth.
Even brushing may not be enough. Then to top it off, SOME drugs deplete nutrients in your body, which can errode your enamel. which never comes back.
SO Im guessing, Im not the only one with dental issues.
I mean, I know Im not, but I get the feeling we all will be hearing more about these issues soon.
It sux, it really does. becuase its not cheap at all!!!
IM SO HAPPY IM GETTING them FIXED for GOOD though....
Its a long process though!!!
gotta be patient!!!!!
