Is getting the implant really bad @anthony?

Considered it myself, got a few teeth that have taken a beating and I hate the idea of a root canal on a front tooth!

Root canal is far better than implant. Root canal is a walk in the park compared to implant. I have a few teeth with root canals, and sure, its a little uncomfortable still with the anaesthetic when they poke up into the gums to remove the root, but a couple of days later you're all good. Implant procedure... the tooth has to come out, firstly. Then the bone needs time to grow back, so 6 months on average. If the bone doesn't grow, you need artificial bone grafting to fill it, then the screw goes in, 3 months after that, then your tooth can go on.

Honestly, just go get the root canals you need. Much easier and simpler than implant. I only have one because the tooth had already been root canal'd, but it got an infection and a cyst grew. They treated it for a couple of years trying to avoid implant, but it grew nonetheless and hence dental surgery to cut open the gum and remove it. That took about two weeks to recover from alone.

but it got an infection and a cyst grew.

Shit. That's what I've had for several years. Not looking good.

If you have occasional puss oozing from the top of the tooth, then yep.

Its FRIDAY... whoo hoo....

 

[HëllaBubz]

Ye

If you have occasional puss oozing from the top of the tooth, then yep.

Ah, yes. Cyst on top of the gum the oozes pus every once in a while. Tooth is starting to drop. And woohoo yes it's Friday... Oh wait. I work weekends. Argh.

 

[anthony]

Then you're in for a whole lot of uncomfortable and a year of being toothless. :D

 

[anthony]

f*cken Windows... I hate the OS, despise it. Argh... and it pissed me off that I even have to still work with it at times when I'm all Mac (which just works by the way). f*cken Microsoft.

 

[anthony]

Argh... servers. Setting up a Melbourne one for some stuff, and well... frustrating to get the right solution. Thank goodness for the ease in which they just redeploy now. Click button, all gone and reinstalled. What mistakes... :p:D:coffee::ninja:

Easy come, easy go. I had my new MacBook pro all setup and working amazing for what I need to do... then Apple launch a new one and Nicolette discovers that Apple have a 30 day technology guarantee. Something to do with if they release a newer range of the same item then you can swap it over, get refunded for your one, buy the new one. So here I am... handed back my new one to Apple on the weekend, now back to where I started and in and out of computers that others are using and is just painful to setup and customise for what I need it to do. Argh... but Yeh... all at the same time.

 

[anthony]

Ok... I'm now on high alert. Awoke to an SMS from Apple saying they've shipped my new notebook. Whooooooooooooooooo... excited, but trying to maintain patience, as it could arrive any time during next week.

That sounds good news so cheers and enjoy your notebook. :)
