toothless

I had a tooth removed today.

It's on the right side, near the back.

It's still bleeding, though there is a stitch in it that will disappear in a few days.

I can't have an implant or a bridge because my gum is retracting in that area.

I have pain pills, but no pain yet. And another set of pills to take for 5 days, plus a mouthwash to use in 3 days.

The dentist and his assistant were great. A painless procedure if you don't count the shots to numb it.

But it's on the side where I normally chew and I won't learn for a while what that will be like.

Altogether, not a great day.

Hope yours was better.

Shalom, Jim
