Hilarious Dentist Video to Celebrate My Periodontal Surgery
Right now, I’m in some pain…
Today I visited the dentist. Not just any dentist mind you, and not my regular dentist whom I see twice a year.
No, this guy was a periodontist and this morning I was with him and his dental assitant for almost three hours for gum grafting surgery on three teeth to treat the receding gums on those teeth.
Whoooopeeee! That was fun!
What they do is scrape and/or pull tissue from the palate (the top of the inside of the mouth) and use that to build up the gum that’s receding by stitching it to the existing gum.
My entire mouth was numb from novacaine and now that it has worn off, I’m in a bit of discomfort, to say the least. This next week of recovery will be the hardest, but then there’s another two weeks to fully heal. Oh boy. Soft diet and rinsing and applying ice to my face. What a joy ride!
But, it needed to be done to preserve the teeth. If you need this type of treatment, don’t delay or you risk losing the affected teeth. For me, I’m a young guy still - I want to keep my teeth for as long as possible!
To celebrate this surgical procedure I endured today, I found this great hilarious video featuring the legendary Tim Conway and Harvey Korman (Carol Burnett Show… remember?).
I laugh watching this and I feel better! Hope you do too.
And please: Leave some comments to let me know you’re all thinking of me and my painful mouth! I could use the well-wishes! Thanks!
