    Last time eating foods

    posted Tuesday, 26 May 2009

    This is going to probably be an ongoing post while I countdown the days until my dental surgery & the last day that I can eat food for at least 4-6 months.  For those that don't know & to record this myself...  I have 3 missing teeth (one of them is my front tooth!).  It's been missing for a long time since it cost a FORTUNE to get replaced.  I could have went with a bridge but my history of soft teeth, I don't think it would have lasted.  So because it has been forever in getting an implant, the bone has eroded away.

    So in 14? more days I'm...

    • getting a tooth extracted (Root canal gone bad.  Post was too big for the root & it completely fractured the root.) 
    • getting bone grafts in top 2 missing teeth, as well as the bottom where tooth is being extracted (fracture really messed up the jaw bone)
    • getting 3 implants (they need to wait until the extracted tooth/bone graft heals before implanting that)

    A lot of people are like you can eat.  I was told I couldn't.  It's not like I can eat on the other side, I am getting ALL SIDES, TOP & BOTTOM done.  There isn't a side I can eat on without the danger of hurting something.  Plus it is going to be a good thing.  6 months - nothing but protein shakes (medically supervised I might ad) - you do the math.
