   I had my oral surgery today..
  I posted about this the other week..well, today was the day and it was pretty horrible..I didn''t get the general anesthetic, so I got to be awake and aware the whole time..I didn''t keep any of the bone fragments, and I don''t have any pictures(yet)..I just changed out the guaze for the first time a few minutes ago and there''s this huge gaping hole..that''s when I remembered that some people had expressed an interest in seeing what happened, so I thought I''d post..No picture(yet), but I can assure you it''s not nice to look at..good pain medication though, so I''m not feeling bad for now..Someone at work offered to cover the $400 for the general but I wouldn''t do it..they all think I''m nuts(they might be right)..now that it''s over I''m glad I went the hardcore route, I just can''t bring myself to spend that kind of money to be a wuss..I have to go drool for awhile..

My mom grew up on a farm so dental health wasn''t much of a priority when I was a kid..I didn''t start brushing on a regular basis until I was 21..

Sometimes teeth pulling is called for when there''s no decay - eg. wisdom teeth. Sometimes teeth are pulled because the nerve is dead. I have a friend who had one of his front teeth pulled for that reason. It seems he got hit in the mouth with a baseball as a teenager and it killed the nerve on one of his eye teeth. The dentist removed the tooth some 15 years later. As people get older they tend to loose teeth for many different reasons having nothing to do with hygiene.  monkeyman, you should have gone for the nitrous! any way, I wish you a speedy an uncomplicated recovery.   ;  I had a tooth removed because of a dead nerve. I was fully awake and had no drugs when they pulled it out (hell I was sitting up too). They just stuck a wrench kind of thing in my mouth and pulled. The tooth came out no problem. No pain or soreness either (probably because it was dead...). Best dental experience I ever had  The hackers must have gotten into the system through the hyperlink!!Invader''s Realm
