Hey everyone. I had a tooth that broke off and somehow I got a blood infection and another infection that got into the jawbone.
I had to have emergency dental surgery last week to pull the entire upper row. They were able to give me antibiotics, clean out the infection and put four implants in and a new row of teeth. I know there were some bone grafts put in the jaw bone as well.
I won’t be eating much bbq anytime soon. No ribs, brisket, steak or any of that.
On a good note, I am going to get to eat plenty of smoked meatloaf for the next 4-5 months as meatloaf is on the approved soft foods list.
The dental surgeon said if I had waited another week or two to get treatment, I probably would have died in my sleep.
That kind of news is pretty sombering. I’m 42 and not ready to kick the bucket just yet.
