I'm waiting on the phone call this week to be told when my surgery is. I'm having all of my uppers extracted and getting an immediate denture. Keeping 8 teeth on the lower front and will eventually have a partial. I am so scared! We tried the twilight sedation last week and it didn't go well. The dentist I was sent to was very rude. The first tooth he pried on had me coming up out of the chair. That was as far as we made it. So now I'm waiting to be put down and knocked out to have my teeth pulled. I'm fine with that part. I don't mind being asleep for dental procedures. It's the after part that I'm worried about. The immediate denture, the pain. I won't have much help except on the day of my surgery. After that I'm on my own. With 3 small kids. My husband works out of town and won't be here when all of this happens. I can't wait to have all of this done but I'm so scared too. It's weird. I don't know anyone my age that has been through this before so I'm flying solo. And my mouth hurts so bad right now. The tooth that the dentist tried to pull is twisted in an awkward position. I only had three back teeth to chew with and since he twisted the one on top, chewing is very difficult. Just since he messed with it, it has broken along the gumline and anything cold or hot or sweet sends me into convulsions. Drinking is difficult too. Room temperature things are ok if they aren't sugary. I can't chew on the other side of my mouth. Ugh. I can't wait to be able to chew and smile and not be sick. I keep sinus infections, ear infections and I'm currently on my 4th antibiotic for this recent sinus infection and luckily this antibiotic is working.
I know I didn't really ask a question here but any support or advice would be greatly appreciated.
