Good News

Good news! So far no root canals are needed. I went back to the orthodontist this morning and I'm getting fitted next week for night guards which will act as my retainer too! Made my last payment to the orthodontist too that was truly wonderful! My teeth do feel a little better but I'll be curious to see what the other oral surgeon says and if the night guards work.

One problem after the next!

Can't say I would do this again, that's for sure. I am now almost 7 months post op and I have had nothing but problems. My primary care doctor did a cat scan a few months ago and I was told that it was okay but come to find out I have a 2 mm cyst in the right nostril. Although, I think it burst the other day because I had what you would consider a bloody nose but it was just clear fluid draining and just from the right side. I have had nothing but chronic sinus infections since the surgery and a lot of problems breathing (lots of mucus) so I'm going to see an ENT specialist at the beginning of the new year. My teeth have been killing me especially two of my top teeth. I'm actually going to a root canal specialist tomorrow because two of the roots have shrunk due to the trauma of the surgery. Root canals may not be the answer and I may just need a night guard but my orthodontist wants me to have a consult. Then I go to the orthodontist on Thursday morning to discuss the results with her. I'm also going to see another oral surgeon at the beginning of January to get a second opinion the surgery just doesn't seem to be what I expected and my nostrils are so deformed (internally). My PCP was shocked! I can however, say that this surgery wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't had any complications! At this point however, I am just disgusted with everything...
