I had 31 extracted leaving one wisdom that can be removed when they go in in three months to place 5 implants. Just had gas today, i am feeling pretty good the top denture has been zero issue, the bottom moves some but dentist will work on it tomorrow as I go back at 10am. Talking with no real issues slight whistle from time to time if I talk to fast. Went to my daughters volleyball game tonight, felt good to smile at her while she was warming up and she looked over. I could see the smile on her face as she realized I was ok and could smile again without being ashamed, the periodontal disease had ruined my teeth and left gaps especially between the front. It was a little a painful with all the shots as the dentist said I was metabolizing the novacaine or whatever they shoot your gums with :). I am taking the antibiotics, and painkiller and ibuprofen as prescribed, I have had some chicken soup, ice cream, mash potatoes so far but couldn't be happier. Sure I have a ways to go, but for day one I am very pleased, and will check in with the dentist tomorrow at 10am, and them again Monday, bur considering all the horror stories I had read prior to today I feel very pleased, especially since I didn't have to miss my daughters game :)
