Thanks so much for this thread popo. This is simply spectacular. I'm sure this has already been addressed, and I'm sorry for that.
I'm having all four wisdom teeth pulled next month (waiting till after the holiday rush). I'm wondering what to expect on the recovery time, and also what to expect for the diet immediately afterwards. I imagine lots of milkshakes and puree'd food. I plan to take a day or two afterwards off work, but if 4 days later I plan to go snowboarding is this a problem? Obviously, if I'm still taking pain killers I will not bother.
The other question I have, my front tooth (I believe 9) was severely chipped as a child. Because of insurance reasons they normally only replace it with a filling. After a few years it gets discoloured, and after a few more years it will fall out (it's extremely sensitive when it falls out). I'll have another filling put on. I've wanted to put a cap on it, something permanent to avoid that visit, but this is considered "cosmetic" by the insurance companies. Is there anyway around this? The other front tooth (8) has stress fractures all through it from the same incident that chipped (9) is there anything I should do about that one, or just let it be, it does not bother me; just every dentist I go to points it out.
