Dental surgery today. The periodontist removed the roots of my left front tooth (I was surprised at the size of it), packed the socket full of bone chips (provenance not specified), and sealed the whole schmutz with a collagen membrane and some sutures. Took an hour or so, most of the time being spent on filling the socket with osseous goodness.
Surprisingly painless: the anesthetic wore off as the stitching was going on, so I could feel that, and that’s really all I have felt. They have me taking ibuprofen regularly, whether I need it or not, and that seems to work.
So eating and talking are discouraged for today, especially the latter: the vibration/movement/whatever makes the whole mess bleed and that’s messy
The surgeon said I could have copies of the before and after pictures she took: if I post them, I’ll put them below the fold.
