I had dental surgery like, a month ago. Posted about it here. Instead of a front tooth I’ve got a metal (titanium I think?) cap sticking out of my gums. The tip of my tongue constantly touches it and I’m really over it.
The weirdest part is every time I brush my teeth it feels cold for like an hour. The button has a female drive to it (I think it’s Torx?) and it holds onto toothpaste.
At least I’m off my no biting things diet. There’s stuff that’s still impractical to eat but I can have sandwiches now.
Yeah the gums need to grow together and they need to check if your body won’t reject the implant and the bones regrow around it.
It’s a bothersome wait but better than the horror stories I’ve heard about it suddenly falling out when eating.
Have a bit of patience and it will pay off ☺️
