Back from dentist. Nitrous oxide good. Getting the impressions still sucked, but we did it! Victory!

Then I was told that these were only the first of a series. And that my dentures would be coming in mid-April. Slight bummer there. But as long as I can have my lovely N2O, I'm good with more impressions.

After that, three extractions. I honestly didn't feel the third.

More extractions next week.

And further proof that I am not of this world. I seem to lack a complete dental ridge on my lower jaw.

How long have you been missing teeth in your lower jaw? The jaw bone will often receed when many to all the teeth are missing.

It was a real problem when folks often got full denture sets. That's why the there used to be all kinds of denture cream and adhevsive comercials on TV. The gums and jaw would receed over time and the dentures would be come loose.
