Thank goodness!

Thanks for all your support CLKD - X

[CLKD]

You're very welcome!

Tooth feeling ok, since root canal.  Round two of the dentist comming up on Monday morning.  Next is the bottom tooth that broke in half on the broccoli, last week.  Not painful, but filling hanging out a bit!  Crown prep will begin.  Not as petrified as when I had R C, but nonetheless not totally chuffed at the thought either! 

[CLKD]

Brocolli fights back?

What ever are you like with ice-cream      I too have another appt., we have to go on Tuesday 

[pixie]

Must admit CLKD, i haven't been able to eat any ice cream, as I was in such pain.  Its improved since the root canal.  Good luck for you and himself on Tuesday! What have you both got to have done this time?

[CLKD]

I get my new crown to put over the implant and Himself needs a 'small' filling .........

Phew.....crown prep done, and drilling over for now.  It didn't hurt a bit, but drill always makes me shake!  Pleased with my temporary crown.  Bryan Ferry was on the TV singing during it, so not too bad.   Mouth still numb.
Got to go back and have one more canal done in the one that was root filled the other day.

Good luck tomorrow CLKD! I hope you are pleased with your new tooth and that himself satisfied with his filling.  I was impressed how they do the colour match for the teeth.  The dentist had a long row of teeth from white to yellow to hold against my other teeth.  Quite interesting, but not something I'd like to do regularly!!

Hi CLKD, Sounds like your implants are a success. I finally had my front tooth removed in November and a temporary plate made up. Absolutely hate it, doesn't fit well at all and can't speak or eat with it in. So in Feb i  have my check-up and hopefully start a course of treatment with root canal treatment, two new crowns and then a bridge between them. Eddie. x

Both implants are settling well, in fact, i can't feel either.  The gap between my bottom teeth R give me problems, grub gets caught and sets up inflammation so I have to go in with a lot of pushing and prodding   

Must make an appt for a general check up, due end of April 

[CLKD]

Was told at my check up that I wasn't cleaning properly  - smacked wrists, had to see the Hygenist. She told me to do: everything that I was already doing  but I am taking more care with the inbetween bits.

DH is undergoing implants soon 

[CLKD]

My implants are pricey but the dentist is doing a good job, his team are very supportive and as I am his 'first' patient he is, in effect, practicing on me    ………… having the implants means that my jaw has something to work against, pretty similar to brisk walking to stave off osteoporosis.  If the tooth is present the jaw won't recede therefore I won't lose other teeth!

[CLKD]

This saves me repeating myself 

I would have another if necessary.

3 implants @ £1,500 each-ish ……...

No chance of me affording an implant I'm afraid - it will have to be either false teeth or gaps!

It is cosmetic surgery - though I would argue that if patients are treated with implants, they will need less 'work' anyway!  as it saves the teeth becoming loose and dropping out.  I think I would prefer to be gummy rather than suffer the embarrassment of dentures  ……… I would never remember where they were each morning
