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.
