For the past couple weeks I’ve been visiting some form of dentist every-other day almost exactly, this past Friday however, I managed two visits in one day! Yea yea!
My first trip to the dentist was to get a long-term treatment plan and a referral to a periodontists. The second was the consult with the periodontists which was by far the most thorough examination I’ve had. Overall diagnosis wasn’t far from the others, this just confirmed my need for the 4th implant and a gingivectomy(basically a reduction of overgrown/inflamed gums ). I’m going in on Tuesday so he can start working on my gums which unfortunately means I’m going to have some musical downtime during the week while I wait for my gums to heal.
Today at the conservatory I was explaining to a guitar player the situation with my teeth (He wanted to know if I was going to be at rehearsal next Wednesday) and a man standing near us in the hall overheard the conversation. Turns out he was a dentist and asked what happened etc. After explaining to him my past couple months he asked if he could take a look. I showed him my teeth and told him all the specialists I’ve seen and he actually knew my periodontists and spoke very highly of him, which is very reassuring. Such a small world.
