I Feel Smarter

Thirty minutes after having 23 rotten teeth extracted and my temporary dentures seated, I'm on the internet grinning. That's vlogging dedication!

But I don't have ANY teeth now. What more kind of periodontal work could need doing?

Not really, it's the bacteria, and make sure you remain in treatment. Dentures are not the end of the road for your mouth, you are now on a different path. After a suitable healing period, look for a soft denture reline, a soft conformal coating that will allow your new dentures to seal and remain stable. If any more periodontal work needs to be done, get it done, as deteriorating bone is a prime growth medium for it, just thinking you're cured because you don't have "bad teeth" is a mistake.

I'm noticing much-improved sinuses and better throat. Seriosly. I know those bad teeth were poisoning my body!

You are very brave and that's reassurring to those of us who have not yet faced up to having dental work done because it's fearful. I guess the best bit is you get to feel good about yourself after it's done and over, then you can say to others well it was unpleasant but it just happens and at a certain point you walk out of there with less of a problem.

I had a 70-something year-old dentist who yanked all 23 teeth out in an hour. He was pretty winded towards the end. Started panting as he pulled. Hahaha!

Wow that's great yoi managed to get it done. I've two really cracked open molars, but National Health Service dentists are as rare as hen's teeth, so I still have my creeks to play in with my tongue. Respect to you for being so brave.

[marquisdejolie]

I absolutely believe that. I can tell already that my health has improved! My sinuses have magically cleared right up!!

Youtube doesn't care about MY impression. No, I qualified for a poor people's waiver on the extractions (it cost me $20 to have 23 teeth extracted) and friends of mine in Longbeach, CA bought the dentures for me ($775).
