i had mine surgicaly removed...through the roof of my mouth.

serious pain. all i could eat was baby food for weeks.

to this day i still have sinus issues. all the migrains i get...go up my nose into my eyeball. nice visual huh? getting ice...ice cream..anything real cold on my pallette...is a no no. very sensitive.

i'm sure things have changed. i was 12 when i had the surgery. i wasn't even told that this was going to happen. was just told that i was going to the dentist. being put under without my consent or knowledge was very tramatic. oh...mine was done on dec 22...i slept through christmas. had pinapple baby food food for dinner.

are they going to put in a bridge? for me...it was done to make room for my teeth. i had 4 baby..and 4 permanent teeth taken out at the same time before i got braces.
