Over a year ago, I had a tooth extracted.
On Monday, I had the surgery that prepares me for an implant for that tooth.
I am recovering from the surgery, and it sucks!
I'm taking Tylenol for pain, but I still feel pressure in my head.
My whole body aches a little, but it could be worse.
I should be feeling better in a few days. 
By the way, the actual surgery wasn't too bad, even though I am deathly afraid of needles and drills.
I neglected my teeth for many years, and now I'm paying for it.
I’ve been absent for long time since my bloodpressure is unstable, so welcome back for both of us
the other year i bought a stainless steel dental set 'Candure Oral Care Kit' and clean off tartar (soft) and calculus (hard) with it once per year on my own in front of the bathroom mirror wearing H1 Nova.
plaque turns into tartar turns into calculus then you dead
Yep, believe me i know the feeling.
I have had it a couple of years ago, they pulled my wisdom tooth, scraped out some jawbone material, transplanted it into the place where there wass loss of material, filled it with a patch and stitched it together.
Then i had to wait for 6 months until everything was healed and then they cut it open again, drilled a hole in my jaw for the implant, and they just screw the titanium implant holder it into your jaw.
After that wait another couple of months and then they can make a fake tooth and screw it on the base with a mini dental torque spanner (35 mNm)
I have waited far too long because i did not like the idea of surgery, but afterwards i am very happy with it, i should have done it much earlier
My personal opinion is that the BLF-rule against writing about politics and religion shoud be expanded to dental procedures. It may not lead to aguments about pro’s and con’s, but to a lot of unpleasant emotions.
Not joking. Ever since I retired, my body apparently thinks: now it’s my turn. I have been operated on several times. Never a dull moment. Needles and pins. Tubes all over. And always back up and running in no time.
But my former dentist reminds me of that infamous scene in “Marathon Man”. He used to say: by the time the anesthetics kicks in, you’re back on the street again. So no novocaine for you. Just think of something nice.
That reminds me, someday I need to see Marathon Man!
Bone grafting in maxilla?
Welcome to the club. Parts of it infiltrated the sinus. I was in hell. There’s still some material in the sinus, but I can (have to) live with it. Implant is good, however.
hello implant
goodbye $6000
also hello mr dentist - i had to go back about 10 times for the whole procedure [and this is normal]
the ‘get a whole mouthful of implants in 1 day’ things are bogus
wle
Ive just had 2 second last teeth on the bottom extracted in two weeks ….at this rate I’ll be down to two or three teeth left by this time next year and chewing like a cow…kind of reminds me of how my grandma used to chew !!
I hope you have a quick recovery! 
My girlfriend has a disease called VIKINGS DISEASE[Dupuytren’s Contracture]. A heredity disease that CAN come back even after surgery. The digits of the hand move towards the palm and then stay in a locked position.
Her surgery was on Friday[9.20.2019],She is tough and recovering well.
Wow, I got a few stitches, but nothing like that!
I'm very glad my surgery was so minor.
Her right hand was done in August 2018.
Dental surgery is still painful!
Get well soon!
Ah!
Witch hunt! 
You haven’t felt pain until you’ve had tongue surgery 
I had it done twice in 2 years several decades ago to remove growth spots on the underside of my tongue that could potentially become cancerous.
This is what they did to me:
Suffer for 2 months with a dime size hole (and twice the depth) in the bottom of the tongue healing for 2 months, with each movement from talking, eating, etc breaking the scar tissue. Kind of like a super duper cold sore (OUCH! OUCH!).
I think they missed some of the growth the first time which required the second go-round a year later
Worst pain by far in my 65+ years of life.
Sounds very painful. Long lasting also.
However, I disagree that I have NOT felt pain until I get tongue surgery!
I have had 7 Orthopedic Operations,4 knee and 3 on hands. First knee operation in 1981 was regular surgery before Arthroscopy,very painful.
Most painful was when a QUACK ripped off my big toe nail when I was 17. I had an ingrown toe nail and that was his idiotic and incorrect solution. He did not even tell me that he took the nail off.I soaked it the next day for an hour and the gauze would not come off. My neighbor came over and had to rip it off,VERY PAINFUL!!! 
Raw flesh!
Needless to say it grew back ingrown and then I went to a podiatrist who knew what to do. I still have problems with that nail today,not being ingrown, but fungus issues that come and go.
OK, a Contest: Chemo therapy, 2014. Lymphoma. All is well now, but that was hell.
I was severely depressed in the summer of 1995.
I hurt my back, and was placed on several opiate painkillers.
I overdosed, and went cold turkey on opiates.
I didn't sleep for three months.
I was pretty skinny, and I lost a bunch of weight.
At one point I was 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighed 130 pounds.
I was in terrible back pain for several years.
I still have a bad back.
That was the worst part of my life, by far.
I would rather die than go through that again.
That was my personal hell, though it had nothing to do with surgery.
Luckily, everything else in my life is barely a problem compared to back then. 
I can relate to the procedure. I go to Thailand for dental work. I have an implant half done, it took them longer to inject the anesthetic than to drill and tap the jaw. Extraction is worse.
