Metal Mouth Message Board

Having the teeth taken out isn't pleasant, but it's not sore. The worst part is waiting for it to heal before you can eat normal food, which can take days. How long it takes to heal depends on how easily they come out, with more bruising and come trauma taking longer to heal up.

The ortho did address your questions though, didn't he? You got the additional appointment to answer them, so he's showed he's willing to answer your questions. What was his tone- mild/amused or irritated? Were you aking (technical?) questions because you don't have faith in him or trust his profess...

Are you flossing, and do your gums bleed when you do? Are you brushing your gums too hard?

I don't think it's something to be unduly worried about, if the pros haven't mentioned it..
