Smiling....

Well yippee, I can smile again. I finally have my permanent tooth now. I had a tooth break at the gum line in August. That tooth had been sensitive for a very long time. The dentist could never find what was wrong, no matter how many x-rays and probings. Well the nerve had died making the tooth brittle.  So in September  I had an implant. That does take a while to heal into the bone. So I have been wearing what's called a flipper....this device is horrid and made my mouth sore ...so I would not wear it around the house. Gaaa, not a good look.
  Monday was my bi-annual cleaning and exam. The dentist says , "your tooth is in, let's try it" He did try to get it in on Monday, although Tuesday was the scheduled day. It wasn't working right, so he said to come back on Tuesday at my original time. I went in yesterday and it was a fit and everything looks great. I can't begin to tell you the stress I have had over this tooth and all the appointments that went with it. Not to mention the x-rays....not a fan of too many of those either. So today I am going to be smiling all day. It was one of the major six teeth in front. I always felt that everyone could see that flipper wasn't real.:):) Hope all of you are smiling today also. xo
