Back to the Peridontist

Ugh! is all I can say. I went to my dentist to finally get my crown put on my implant (after 7 months of waiting) and guess what? "Page luck", as we like to call it, set in again. Of course, the tooth didn't fit and they couldn't get a new impression. So my wonderful periodontist told me he would make an exception and invite me back to look at my tooth. Of course, he saw how swollen my tissues are and decided to laser the tissue area to try to get it to heal. So much fun getting shots of anesthesia. I get this heart attack feeling and feel like I am going to pass out every time. And I am thinking... if this wasn't a front tooth, I would say the heck with this!!!!! So now I wait patiently for my gums to reheal before they even get to take a new impression. Oh my! Moral of the story: if you need an implant done, pray it's a back tooth and just get the darn tooth pulled and forget about it!! I'm headed off to bed with some Tylenol and a good cottage magazine. Magazines like that always cheer me up. :)
