So my journey continues, with a slight delay in moving forward on the implants, they are delayed at least 2 or 3 weeks. Over the course of the last 2 months I have had 2 extractions (had 2 others previously) all were back teeth and have had 6 crowns removed, teeth restored and in temporary crowns. all in the lower arch. Because of my terrible bite, all the bite pressure hits in the back, I only had 2 good points of contact. Those are currently gone. Since I have had all this work done I have noticed a couple of strange things, 1. My tongue seems too big for my mouth. (I original blamed these on the temps as they are a bit wider than my other crowns were. Dentist did this on purpose.) 2. I normally have a pretty dry mouth, but now I seem to be drowning in saliva. (I blamed that on all the current holes in the lower arch.)
I haven't mentioned this to the dentist yet, as I kept explaining it away in my own mind. However, after this weeks appt I can't stop swallowing...
Does this make since to anyone? Is this related to the work I am having done, is this a permanent change or just an expected temporary situation until some of the back teeth are restored?
I appreciate any comments! Thanks.
