They did.. WHAT?!

Today I am the proud loser of nine teeth.

Yes, I am now short nine teeth. My jaw is sore, my gums are still a touch bloody, but the partial looks sharp, at least!

Blacked-out ones were replaced by the partialI'm just happy that it's finally done. I'm not happy that I woke up a couple of times during the procedure to FEEL the teeth being ganked

excellent icon for this post yo.

Sorry to hear about the pain, but glad it was for a good cause. *hughughuglots*

Oh agreed :) (on the icon and good cause). I'm hoping I can talk them into filing down the top of the backside of the partial, 'cause it's sort of scritching the edge of the roof of my mouth, and that's freakin' me out a touch.

In other news, I want meat now now now. I'm so glad I got some steak last night, and ham the night before :D

*blinks* why did you have to have that done?

[raeyn]

Long story short:
Got braces in high school, teeth became straight and pretty.
Year after braces came off: teeth started falling out of mouth, 'cause it turns out that they were too weak to be moved.

Spent my personal money getting them refixed up, but didn't get too far into it before I joined the Air Force. Due to circumstances, I had to wait almost five years to get cracking on my dental work. Because of this, teeth that were bad rotted out other teeth, and a whole mess of them just needed to go.

My teeth, by the by, in addition to being very weak are also surrounded by super extra hyper mouth bacteria that start to dissolve sugar and therefore teeth with a gusto that ADHD children could only gape at.

So now instead of a bunch of half-rotten and broken crowns and rebuilds, I have a united front of pretty.. works for me! <3 The other three that were removed, btw, were wisdom teeth, so :D

God, and I thought I had teeth drama. And the fact that you woke up a few times during the procedure....*shudders* You got balls woman.. and I mean that in the best way possible.

Cheers honey, cheers, I know what you mean.

I'm just pleased I'm taking this all in good humor.. like having no ice, so having a box of frozen spinach wrapped in a spaghetti string shirt and using the strings to hold it to the side of my head to reduce the swelling :D

What all do you have to have done? I've seriously gone through almost every dental procedure known to man, and can usually give some good guidance on what's shaking :)

Dang, you need to keep me in the loop! *lol* First I find out about D*Con and now this! :p

*hugs* At least you'll have solid teeth now! :)

[raeyn]

Quasi-solid teeth, at least :)

I almost messaged you, but my sister found out the same day you did.. being today. I don't know if the other sister knows yet, so you might be ahead of mst of my family :D

[sam_i_aint]

you haven't been posting for a while so umm... WHY did you have 9 teeth pulled?

[raeyn]

Three wisdom teeth needed to go, as well as those blacked out ones in the picture due to rotting and stuffs. 'cause teeth rot each other out -nodnods-
Especially when they're forced to stand pat for years and years and years instead of gettin fixed.. meh.

It sucks you had to get surgery done for teeth, but its good that you have teeth that won't be going away. *poke* I dont know when to catch you online anymore to talk. <3

[raeyn]
