Well, first I have to have a denture made. So I go back in February to have an impression made. And once I get the denture there will be adjustments for a bit but after that it will be just regular cleaning and exams.
Everything went really smooth today. They left another tooth that was in good condition and just pulled the broken pieces. If there were any roots to get they came out with the remains of the teeth. So no stitches or antibiotics needed. Just a little salt water rinse starting tomorrow and soft foods.

Boy... can I empathize with you here Brenda.
I just got my denture/partial reline done yesterday and basically starved myself since then other than a can of spaghetti o's that I found that somebody must have given me at some point because I never would have bought them. Crazy how good those taste if you're hungry.
SUPER EXPENSIVE to get it done, but I was about 2 1/2 years overdue and really needed them.
The top fit perfectly, but I had to go back this afternoon to get the bottom adjusted because I couldn't even put them in.
Overall, I think I'm pleased with them. I will have to spend a few days talking to myself to re-learn how to do it without the minor lisp that I've picked up with the new dimensions inside the mouth, but I expected that.
Meanwhile, I've got a misfire on my car now. My mechanic was able to take some time to analyze it today but he's probably not going to be able to work on it until at least Thursday, so no more driving for me until then. You can drive with a misfire short distances, but you're putting things at risk if you push it. So I got a couple of gallons of milk and some perishables while I was out and now it's just a waiting game. I'm sure as hell not leaving the car with him again unless I know he's going to be working on it IMMEDIATELY when I get there. At least the problem here is accessible from the top and won't require the rack. In fact, I was going to try to fix it on my own, but it's so damn cold in my garage that there's no way I can do it on my own right now.

I'm glad the broken bits are gone and that will be even better once the area is completely healed. One spot when I was chewing was starting to hurt and that was getting annoying.
Eating soft is only for a couple of days, so not to hard to do really.
Man, you and your car are just nothing but problems right now. That's a good idea on not leaving it with your mechanic.

Speaking of the dentist, I am starting to freak out the dental assistant. The dentist wanted an x-ray to double check the good tooth and because on the first ones, she thought she saw something. She did it was a stray root.
My response, "Of course there is something strange. You are talking to someone who survived brain surgery when she was 24."
Dental assistant was like, "Whoa. Was it cancer?"
I told him no but that is why I have a seizure disorder now. I also explained basically where the scar goes on my head.
Then of course they could see the scars from the wires when I had jaw surgery in high school. Another shudder when I explained some of that.
Yeah, poor guy. He's a nice guy too.

Wow. You've got male dental assistants?
I'm sure we got them here, but I've never seen one before. In fact, the two dentists I've ever had in my life were the only males in the place. The one I go to now is almost a full shop too, with a lot more employees than the first dentist. There are 3 hygienists, two women at reception, and the woman who does the molds for dentures and partials. Heck... there may even be an orthodontist in there too, which would make sense since they've got somebody on staff who could also do molds for retainers.
I really don't care much who my dentist is, although he is a really nice guy. I love my hygienist though. I already told her that even if I move down by my brother out of state I would make it back up here every four months for my appointments.

Yup.
I'm sure there are. The first time I went to have teeth pulled it was a male dentist but these last 3 times my dentist has been a lady. They were training a new assistant yesterday and she was female.
Think he is a hygienist too and like I said he is a really nice guy. Last time I was there he said I could squeeze his hand if I felt any pain. *L*
Not sure who will do the mold for me. Maybe him but that's not till the end of next month.
Most in this office are ladies it seems but they are all really nice and very good. So I have no complaints.

Good to see that the extraction went well. It sounds like your fentsi a very nice and that you're healing well. I hope that no more teeth get broken and that is the last of the extractions!
I don't have a lot of experience with my new dentist. I just switched last year bc my previous dentist was a little far away and it seemed like she was always trying to pump up the bill by doing unnecessary work. But I haven't been making dental appts bc there were just too many other spots to keep.
