Found out why I had SUCH a hard time with my teeth removal....I lost bone from the roof of my mouth

[greenbriar]

Doc said he hadn't seen that but one or two times before


when the teeth came out, part of the bone did too and some of my mouth roof collapsed

1. Wuss.

Kidding. I hope you are feeling better. :hug:

[ReliantJ]

2. Wow. Hope you feel better.

[mainegreen]

3. That sounds... horrifying.

I'm sorry. Can he fix it without too much pain?

I hope so.

:(

4. are you okay?

does that effect eating, talking, etc.?

[greenbriar]

5. He said it was fine. I have to take some pills for swelling and watch

If I have several sinus issues, I need to persue it


otherwise, he wants to see how it heals up. I can feel bone through the gum


I have a HUGE hole and still several stitches




He asked if I had liquid coming out of my nose when I drank things...I said no


so I guess they want to see how it heals

6. oh my..

good luck and fast healing! that sounds incredibly painful too. I would think that you are on some kind of prophylactic antibiotics?

[CaliforniaPeggy]

7. My dear greenbriar...

Oh, wow...

Sorry this happened to you, sweetie...

I'm sure he will keep a close eye on you...

:hug:

8. crap, that sounds awful!

No wonder you were dreading the surgery so much -- maybe you had some sort of premonition that it would be a bad experience (I'm not entirely joking, either).

I really hope you feel better and don't have (much) pain. Will there be a full recovery, or will this continue to be an issue for you?

yikes, greenbriar!

[greenbriar]

9. HE didn't seem to think it would be on going as long as I don't keep getting sinus infections

I have had like 20 this school year

I have been talking funny, but I am still pretty swollen!!!

[ThomCat]

10. Holy Shit!

:wow:

That doesn't sound fun. :(

I hope you're okay, and there's no permanent damage to the roof of your mouth. :hug:

Is there anything you can do about that bone loss?

[greenbriar]

11. Not sure...going to go to my gen doctor and talk with him about it

hubby is concerned ...wants to make sure I don't have bone cancer ect

[ThomCat]

12. Please get that bone loss checked out.

and please let us know what happens. :hug:

You're on my worry list. I worry about you and I hope for good news. :loveya:

[greenbriar]

14. oh, you have enough going on, please don't worry about me

I will be going to the doctor next week. I called today and they are going to call to set up an appointment tomorrow.

13. Did the dentist give you a time frame for healing?

I had an upper tooth pulled that had a root in my sinus cavity (insanely weird, like hold your nose, blow, and have the air come out your mouth weird) but I've never heard of anything like that.

Depending on your age talking to your family doc about osteoporosis potential might not be out of line....

Best to you, greenbriar. Sorry your dentist trip turned out so crappy. Hope it resolves itself well.

:hug:

[DeepBlueC]

15. Good God!!!

You poor dear. I am so sorry that this was such a complicated and difficult procedure for you. I hope that the healing from here on in is smooth and uneventful and complete. You deserve a break about now.

:hug:

[applegrove]

16. That sounds painful. Hope you are feeling better.

[hippywife]

17. Did you ask him why

he didn't tell you that the day he did it? I find it very odd that he didn't say anything about it then.
