Just out of curiosity, cap'n, why didn't they do them all at one? too much trauma for the gums? Whoch 9 did they pull?

For several reasons, monster. 1 yes was because of too much trauma all at once and the 2 reason was because it breaks the financial responsiblities down in several parts. Not that it would have mattered, we were going to get capn's teeth fixed even if I had to sell my big toe to accomplish it! Thank goodness for insurance. Another reason was because they want to be able to make the impressions for his dentures and only pull the last of the teeth when the dentures come in so that he won't have a 'toothless day'. They pulled all the back teeth on top and bottom and left all his front teeth until the next pulling session.

They pulled all the molars (jaw teeth) first. I will have a week to ten days for that to heal. When I go back next week to have the sutures removed they will make an impression of my gums with which to make my temporary dentures. When the temps are made, I will then have the remaining teeth pulled and walk (or be carried) out with dentures in my mouth. I will wear these until my mouth is completely healed and my gums have shrunken. Then I will return for new impressions and have my permanent dentures made. Sheesh! A long process and a painful one. Also about 4000 bucks out of me and juju's pocket aside from what our dental plan covers. Guess I'll have to switch from McAllans scotch to the Glen Livet for a while.... good thing we both have good jobs.

One thing I applaud my dentist for is the fact that he is not at all niggardly with the drugs and the gas. During the surgeries I'm not actually asleep, but trust me... I do NOT give a shit. And it makes for a really dreamy trip home. I don't even notice Juju's driving. Imagine that!
