Hey Popo, kudos for all the energy you've put into this over the years. I read the entire thread recently but I don't have the energy right now to go back through and check for an answer. Thanks in advance for any advice you may be able to offer me.
Have I read a bunch of BS or should I be concerned about getting gas with (controlled) high blood pressure? I take Cardizem CD 240 MG, Atenolol 100 MG and Lisinopril 20/25 tab's, all once a day.
I have a left front tooth (incisor (sp?), the third back from my top front tooth) that has died and I have to get it pulled as soon as hubby and I can afford the extraction and retainer/temp tooth. I'd love an implant but we absolutly cannot afford it so it will be the less destructive bridge (vs traditional) of a fake tooth bonded to the anchor teeth eventually.
One further question beyond the HBP one, some back-story first. The dentist I recently saw after about 5 yrs. w/out employment or insurance (whom told me I need what I said above, among alot of other work), had her office person say she charges more than others (after she excused herself when money came into the equation). That furthered my discomfort, but what first started it was that she said she could extract my tooth and "install" the bridge on the same day. I should mention she's a "sedation" dentist if it matter's.
When I had all four wisdom teeth out long ago, it took a couple of weeks as I recall for my gums to heal (maybe much more). Finally my question, is that true that you can install a permanant bridge immediately after an extraction without allowing for healing time, or am I correct in thinking that's crazy talk?
Thanks again Popo for addressing my post and questions, you rock!
Ali
