    Default Teeth Pulled

    OK, so, November 3rd Im getting SIX teeth pulled. Agh. Its step two in my 'dental makeover' Step one was root planing...

    Anywho - Im going to have a 'flipper' in the top left side - Im NOT going to Vegas with no teeth... haha... well, with a gap at least - most people wouldnt notice but I do.

    Anyone had a flipper? It conjures up images of 6 year old pageant girls...

    My mom just got one of those. She only had to wear it for one missing tooth. The only gripe she had about it was that she gets food stuck between the roof of her mouth and the flipper. It looks really good and normal just like any other tooth.

    Well a few years ago I got EIGHT teeth removed and then I got my braces put on. Are you using novacain or are you being put under? I was put under by an oral surgeon and it was the best thing ever. Getting a lot of teeth pulled using only novacain is a killer and you're pretty much bed bound for a few days after.

    Good luck, don't be scared and all the pain and drama will all be worth it for the perfect smile.

    Im having a Periodontist do it. Im not being put under - or I dont think I am?! Oh shit. I hope not. I cannot afford that. I had 2 teeth pulled a few years ago - an upper molar and wisdom next to eachother - just had novicaine and dont remember it being that bad.

    Im having these 6 pulled - getting a flipper (im not running around with gaps in my mouth especially while dancing!). Im getting braces at the end of next month. Have braces a year - then having jaw surgery. Braces another year then Ill get dental implants to replace the teeth that are being pulled.

    I know itll be worth it. I wish I didnt put it off so long.

    Im getting the teeth pulled on a Saturday that following Thurs im going to Vegas. I should be ok by then, right? Five days later?

    Should be interesting wearing a flipper AND braces but docs said they can make it work... well see... now that i know what it is (googled it) im curious how it will work out WITH braces...

    I had some wisdom teeth out years ago. After 5 days, you will be llucky to have the swelling go down and be able to walk without pain.

    This sounds like major major surgery. I would really consult with several dental surgeons before determining what needs to be done and who should do it.

    You are way too young to have your mouth screwed up for the rest of your life.
