I've been to the dentist again today. A little over two hours this time. We're three fifths of the way through now, unless you count all the preparation surgery up front, in which case we're a lot closer than that. But I still have two fifths of my mouth with temporary teeth.
It's all going to be done by mid August - just another two appointments, as long as nothing goes wrong.
There was a bit of trouble with the right hand side, making the top and bottom fit exactly, and the temporaries fell out a couple of times so I had to go back at short notice to have them glued in again.
The last bit will be the front four top ones. I just hope that they'll fit into the space that's left for them when the other four stages are complete.
Meanwhile I'm a bit sore where the injections went in, and it hurts a bit where he had to trim the edges because my gums have shrunk back. I'm also going to have to start again with the sensitive toothpaste, because the protection I'd built up was drilled away this morning.
Repeat after me: it's all going to be worth it in the end.

It's all going to be worth it . . . . . . .
In the meantime, I'd hate to have that much work done. I once had gingivectomies, both uppers and lowers, the complete mouthful; never again. Not only did it cost the earth, it hurt like hell; and I could only sip liquids for a week.
But it's all going to be worth it . . . . . . .
You are going to be gorgeous when you're done and smiling ALL THE TIME!...:)JP
My mouth aches for you. I do know you will be so happy when it is all done.
Ouch! Sounds grim, but... it's all going to be worth it.
Shame they don't give medals for bravery above and beyond in the face of extreme dentistry.
Oh God, my eyes are watering at the thought of what you're going through. :(
It's all going to be worth it in the end!
Not long to go now then, so hope everything becomes less painful, in fact, pain -free.

I am sure it will be worth it in the end AJ - even if the going is hard.
It won't be long now and it's all going to be worth it in the end.
I'm repeating! It must be so wearing, both mentally and physically, to go through all this treatment but 'it will be worth it' :)
