carry stress in the jaw

[jumpsturdy]

oh man. what a messed up weekend. On friday, I had an appointment to get a tooth extracted because it had broken and caused an infection. Well, I get there, and they inform me that they'd like to pull not just the one, not two or three, but FOUR teeth. I agreed to it, because let's face it, it needed to be done. As is the usual when i have to

What do they do after they pull teeth out??? Are you just left with holes or what?

This always confuses me.

Yep, holes. Except in my case, it's more like a stitched up cavern along the lower right side of my jaw. When it heals, it's just gums.

He might very willingly bring him back to Trenton :) never hurts to ask. Tooth pain is a very terrible sort of thing, about the only thing you can do is make sure to take the pain meds at the right time so that it doesn't build up too terribly and take forever to get back to nearly normal. Hope that the swelling and soreness goes away very quickly and you have a great time in Michigan!
