I will be getting dental implants put in my mouth (to replace two missing teeth) on Dec. 11. I was wondering if any one out there had them down and what to expect afterwards. I would appreciate any advice or ? on this matter.

Can only say that the 3 people I know who have them said they are horribly painful and didn't fit properly. There were more than 2 teeth involved though. Good luck to you.

Check out this website and you will get some good information.

I had to have this. I had a tooth *reabsorb*. It's a strange phenomenon, that even dentists don't understand. But it can happen.

There isn't too much to look out for in terms of the impant. You just need not to bite on it, while it's healing. Heed your surgeon's advice.

Good luck!!!

Be sure to ask the dentist for some harcore painkillers before he touches you. Good luck, sweetie. sue

I had a root canal and four caps put in and had pain for quite a while. I talked ot my regular doc and he told me that the continued pain was due to Fibro. It took about 2 years for it to calm down...I don't know if everyone who has Fibro has a problem whenever they have something done to their soft tissue, but I did...hope this helps, hugs jilly

Just letting everyone know that my appt. was moved up to this coming Monday @ 2:00 p.m. instead of waiting until Dec. 11th to have the two implants put in. I am so glad that my peridonist had a cancellation. I prayed yesterday afternoon for a cancellation and it came to be. I will put an update on here Monday evening.

be sure of ur dentist...I had to have 2 put in the back...I have absolutely NO issues with them what so ever....I have to have this for 6 months and then they put the crowns on...so i will finish up this January...I called a girlfriend who has MS to see how she handled hers...she got 4 right in the front....she says she had NO issues either...so it seems it is alot just to do with how ur body respondes to it all...

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
