Of braces and implants…

My significant other had his four upper front teeth broken off at the gums a few years ago and is working on getting everything fixed so that it doesnt look so bad now. Looks like he will be wearing braces to pull back down the bottom teeth that have pushed their way up into the open space left by the teeth that broke off. Orthodontist thinks that will take about 2 years to get them back where they belong. He will also be having implants put in to replace those top four teeth. This will require a surgical procedure under anesthesia. All in all it looks like about 2 1/2 years to a great smile for him. Its a long road, but definitely going to be worth it to see him smile and not have to worry about how his smile looks.

Just a wee bit o’ humor….

  Toothaches always start on Friday night right before the weekend when the Dental Office will be closed.

At 5 P.M. one Halloween afternoon, my dental hygienist realized that she wouldn’t make it to the store in time to get snacks for trick-or-treaters.  So she took home some free samples from the office supply cabinet.  That night she handed out dozens of toothbrushes, toothpaste, and dental floss.  The next year, although she had bags of chips and popcorn, not one child came knocking at her door.
