Had a tooth causing problems and threatening other teeth. So out it came. I'm getting an implant, but because the bone structure beneath where that tooth had been had been weakened, they had to inject bone material - basically a graft. The stitches come out in two weeks. The graft has to take and the area to fully heal before we can put in a post for the new tooth - a wait of about four months. And then more month of healing as the post settles in, so the new tooth won't go in until some time next spring.
Not in a lot of pain. Just mild discomfort. And sleepy. Only soft foods for a day or two.
At least the dentist/oral surgeon was better than Moe.
Pax et bonum
