Have you had this surgery?

[n2mark]

Osseous surgery? I had this a week ago, now I'm afraid to eat anything except soft foods. I'm also embarrassed to say I've had this surgery.

1. I don't know what it is.

What is it?

3. oh that sounds painful

I went to the dentist today for a crown prep so I am not eating anything except soft foods right now myself.
:-(

6. It is bone surgery

They scrape the crap off your bones. I've not had any pain, just afraid to eat. I don't want any garbage living between the gum and teeth. I eat, I swish and spit. I have this wonderful walleye pike in my fridge, sure would love to eat it.

9. well what about eating it very carefully

and then swishing afterwards? :shrug: Have you been drinking supplements like boost or ensure since the surgery? Hope things get back to normal soon. :)

12. I've been swishing, not the supplements though

14. I've had it. No big deal... You'e got to have regular cleanings now.

I also had to do the next stage, since my gums were too high on the tooth. They had to literally cut all my gums on the inside so that plaque would not form under the gum...

10. I still can't swallow quite right...nearly choked on lunch...ungh. n/t

4. reconstructive periodontal surgery? ouch!

haven't had it, my family has above the gumline problems (cavities) not below (periodontal).

however, due to a car accident a decade ago, i was unable to chew solid food for over a year, so, my sympathies.

5. Are you in pain? I just looked this up:

Osseous Surgery is used to modify and reshape deformities in the supporting bone around the teeth and is used when periodontal disease is advanced in nature. The bone is modified when indicated and excess gum tissue is trimmed away.

and my sisters have had problems similar to this. I hope you feel better, and I'll bet you'll feel fantastic once you heal!:hi:

7. No pain

no problem.

8. Thought I was being this good mother

and I was ..... My extra money went to pay dentist bills for my children, left my teeth alone. Now I am paying the price but my children in their adult years have excellent teeth.

11. Hey, that's what moms are for! But

now it's your turn! Take care. :hi:
