Dental Saga, part 4

[drwex]

No gross details this time, just highlights. Had my followup with the surgeon today. She was amazed at how fast I healed, considering the extent of the surgery. She confirmed that the jaw and mouth pain I'm having is due to the ill-fitting temp crown and she got the desk to schedule an appt with my regular dentist "ASAP" (her term).

I'm hopeful that I'll get a better temp next Monday and then eventually the permanent.

My mom had to deal with an ill fitting crown this year, too. She spent a few months carrying a little brushy thing to deal with residual food. Happily she just got hers fixed and all is well in the world.
Pretty wild how one tooth can be off by millimeters and it causes epic pain and frustration. I hope the regular doc will fix you up - ASAP. :)
