get all my dental work done

I did get to the dentist though. They couldn’t find a reason for it, but they did see another cavity that they could fill while I was there. So that was a nice surprise. Not

I am up to date on my cleaning. I’ve recently started using an electric toothbrush. I can’t believe how much of a difference this makes. Why did I never use one before?
The big news here is I got a wisdom tooth pulled today. I had been procrastinating for so long and now it is finally out. The other three are impacted and they don’t think it is a good idea to pull them. Now I just need to see about straightening them out.

I finally went to see the oral surgeon today. The impacted wisdom teeth will stay. I made an appt. on the 22 of May to have the 1 wisdom tooth that is out pulled. I think my 6 month cleaning appointment is coming up soon. I will ask my dentist at that point about braces. As far as the whitening goes I may try some at home whiteners first before I consider getting it professionally done.

I’m surprised I have any gums left after all the scraping they did. So I am all scraped and polished. My next step is to make an appointment with the oral surgeon for a consulation and new x-rays. I will probably remove the wisdom tooth that is out. The 3 impacted ones don’t bother me too much, but I was advised last time I went that the nerves were really wrapped around them and there is a possibility that if they come out then I could get some numbness in my mouth or lips. Gee that makes me really want to do it. On the other hand they could end up shifting on their own and I would have to get them removed basicially on an emergency basis, which could end up being worse. I don’t care for any of the options but I guess one step at a time. Next week I will make the appointment for the consultation with the oral surgeon.

I haven’t been in at least a year. This will be a new dentist for me. Tomorrow is just a cleaning. My dental goals are to get my 1 wisdom tooth thats out pulled and possibly the three that are impacted removed. After that depending if my teeth shift at all I may get braces again. I had them when I was a teen, but never kept up with the retainer so now they are starting to get crooked again and I also have an overbite. If thats not enough I would also like to get them whitened.
