I'm happy to hear that you've been feeling better! That's awesome! I've just gotten some dental work done also, and the worst part of it is over with too, but still a little bit more to go, but the major part of it is done now. Just a cleaning left, and 3 smaller cavities left now, so I'm happy about that for sure. Had to have a broken tooth pulled about 4 or 5 weeks ago, and ended up having a dry socket afterwards, but luckily it didn't hurt a lot thank goodness....so have been waiting until that's healed up enough to go back in for the cleaning next.
Happy that you are taking care of yourself. I did have to get a tooth pulled about 13 years ago now as the root canal did not work to save it. Back then, I was working and had the money to get a dental implant done. I have heard from my dentist that several people have had issues with their implants failing, but fortunately, thank the Lord, mine has not given me any problems. I had two of them done at the same time. One to replace a tooth that was removed when I was in my 20's with 3 small kids and unable to afford the root canal to save it. They had to do a bone graft in order to build the jaw bone back up as it shrinks over time when a tooth is removed. That implant is also doing well. It was not cheap, but I was working at the time. I don't regret having mine done even though insurance did not cover them. Mine were done by an oral surgeon, so be careful of using some of the ones that advertise same day services. Mine took about 2 months to complete. Your whole body feels healthier when your teeth/mouth is healthy. Good luck with your dental work. I am pulling for your!
