So I was having some pain in a tooth that was damaged many years ago by a 2x4 and a truck axel. I went on vacation the beginning of April, and while on vacation, I started having more and more pain, and even started getting daily headaches. To make a long story short, I had an abscess in the gum, and the infection was causing bone loss. Now, I've got a nice 2 tooth gap in my mouth, and I keep sing "all I want for Christmas is my two front teeth."
In about 2 weeks, they'll be making a mold of my mouth and then a partial. I like to start out things with a bang. Never had a cavity, and now I need some dentures. In the same way, my first surgery was brain surgery. Yeah. Loads of fun.
At least the headaches are diminishing as the antibiotics are working.

Ouch
I go in Tuesday for a consult on removing my last upper left chewing tooth (molar). Not looking forward to it.

That really sucks. I hope
That really sucks. I hope everything comes out alright for you (pun intended).
I'm hoping that with a partial I can still play brass instruments. I almost went with a bridge, but two things stopped me. Number one, I really don't like the idea of having to floss under it, and two, the cost in comparison to the partial.
I know the bridge would have been a more secure thing, but I did research and found that many people play with a full set of dentures, and I don't push hard on my mouthpiece. After playing for 45 or more years, you learn how to improve your embachure.
I guess I'll see in a few weeks.
Hugs!
