Removal of dental implants ?

Glad to hear this jogginggirl!

Great news jg, things can only get better!

Survived the week, the dribbling is reducing? And the pain and soreness also? The gums look to be healing well and the stitches come out tomorrow. Managed to get to see my lovely mum yesterday and, although she has had a fall - she is not doing too badly?
The upside is that the enforced 'rest' gave me the opportunity to write Christmas cards and start some wrapping ??? I guess that's turning a negative into a positive ??
Definitely starting this week in a positive frame of mind ?

Ouch. ?

Ouch! I really feel for you! I had a similar problem, but had only one implant with an infection beneath it. I can only imagine how painful this has been for you. I paid for a procedure to clear the infection, very painful and was warned that it may not work. Two sessions of 2 hours and it didn't clear so I then had to pay to have it removed. I'm now waiting to see how much bone remains. Fortunately my stitches dissolved.

It's the best thing though jogginggirl, because we can't ignore infection beneath an implant. Glad you're feeling more positive and enjoying some TLC. Pampering is good too!

Glad you are feeling a bit better Joggingirl, & hope further grins won't be so painful , It will be comforting to me &I hopefully to you to know that we can have a shared toothless smile !!! I try to always think of it as a great leveller!! Works most of the time ! Wishing you all the best?

Wallowing is allowed.

Determined to feel more positive today ?
My recently designed vision board which concentrates on mindfulness - will be my first port of call ??

What a wretched thing to happen. I have three implants, lots of crowns, innumerable fillings .. and I really do feel for you. I sincerely hope that your dentist will be able to fix you up with a good bridge or new implants or something to sort out the problem. Teeth are the bane of our lives to people of our generation, aren't they? Treat yourself very kindly!

Thank you all for your sympathy, support and ? ? My day has been very quiet with lots of mouth washes and pain killers - and soup made especially by DH ?

Flowers were sent by DD and diva 2 - with lots of good wishes which was a lovely surprise. So many messages from friends and family - so all in all - a much better end to the day than I had thought possible this morning

It does seem that teeth have caused many of us a lot of discomfort and our self confidence has been affected by the shape/loss/damage - particularly of those front gnashers.

I'm off to search out some pretty scarves now norose - I did manage a small grin at your post - until it hurt of course ?
ann you're quite right - it's those small things ..... hope you are OK ?

Take care all ?

jogginggirl I'm sorry you are so sad, I'm sure I would be too. I do hope something can be done that will make you feel a bit better

Jogginggirl Poor you. That sounds dreadful.

joggingirl I do feel so sorry for you what a miserable experience. I can only echo what others have said that is time to pamper yourself, keep warm and take care. Best wishes

My every sympathy goes out to you joggingirl, I am now 63 & lost my 4 fronts aged 15 , then proggesivly terrible dentures until 10yrs ago when I had successfull bridge type through those years I tried not to feel sad for myself thinking of others injuries /deformities which helped a bit, but there is something fudimentally distressing & funny!(to others)about not having those precious front ones, I always keep pretty scarves to hand 'just in case ' & give my nearest & dearest instructions about covering me up if I am unable (for what ever reason ) to do it myself --we make light of it paper bags etc being suggested, it does help, but I don't think that feeling of dread ever completely goes. Just wanted to let you know you are not alone & are being thought about , I too in return will know I am not alone either Best wishes & don't let it get you down?

So sorry that the implants had to be removed, I do hope you have been given adequate pain relief. (My teeth are awful, at least those I heave left. I have always had a large gap in my front teeth, this has got larger as I have aged. I try not to smile because of that. Keep thinking I will get them sorted but those two bloomin' front teeth are solid and I imagine it may hurt!) Hoping that in the soonest time you get your teeth and confidence back.

How awful for you. Be kind to yourself and spoil yourself with something luxurious!

What you have described is my worst nightmare!!

Teeth are the thing evolution got wrong! We should have permanent, self regenerating white bone with no nerves, instead!

I feel for you jogging it is sometimes the small things that break us. I can cope with my H but then something will floor me.
I hope your pain soon goes and the dentures start to feel comfortable.

So sorry to hear this joggingI have implants myself and I would hate to lose them?

Oh you poor poor thing. I'm so sorry to hear that you're in this rotten situation. Its easy to say 'this too shall pass' but you won't always feel like this. This is a really low point and it sounds so unfair.
All I can offer is my sympathy.

I am so sorry to hear that jogging - what a thing to happen - I understand how you feel - when I broke a front while I was on holiday I was so self conscious. I hope that it starts to get more comfortable and that eventually you get a solution you are happy with.
