Hello all!
Another month has passed. And I’m back with another update.
On Tuesday I went in to do more fillings. This time was my two bottom left teeth. The novocain shot was quite painful and uncomfortable. I guess he saw me winced because he apologized and said the bottom is a little different. My whole left side, lip, and tongue was completely numbed. It took about maybe 20 mins or so to complete both. When I saw the tooth in the mirror I was shocked at how natural and pretty it looked (mind you one tooth was cracking with black lines)
Today I went in for more fillings. This time I did #10? I can’t remember the number but it’s the tooth next to my front teeth. There’s a big hole in the back. At first he told me a possible root canal needs to be done because it was a deep cavity and it’s very close to the nerves. I started to panic a little bit because I never got a root canal done before so I don’t know how that was going to be. But he told me he will try to do a filling instead. During the procedure I felt the drilling and vibrations but no pain. But I guess as he got closer to the nerves I felt slight pain. He told me it is very close to the nerves but he was able to do a filling for it.
He is fully booked for May so my next appointment won’t be until June. I have about 4-5 more fillings to do. Which is mostly just the front teeth. After the fillings are complete, the next three extractions will come and that will be my bottom right.
He also mentioned that he will discuss with me about getting braces or Invisalign to straighten out my teeth and fix my bite BEFORE starting the implants because with implants in, it’s gonna be harder. So we will see what the plan is once I’m done with my fillings. He told me it’s a lengthy process but he’ll get me there.
Well that’s all the update I have for now! Until next time. Thank you for reading.
