Well I wanted to post an update. I had my tooth extracted (#8) on Thursday morning. Everything went very well and it is healing great. I go in about 2 1/2 months to have my dental implant put in.

My flipper looks very natural, but feels so tight against my other front tooth. It was kind of hard to get the flipper (tooth part) in the extraction site this morning. Which it was not that tight against the other front tooth the first evening I wore it. And it definitely pinches my gum. So it is not very comfortable right now. But I haven't worn it that much (only a few hours each day since the extraction). But will be wearing all day from here out. Will the tight feeling against the other tooth go away? I don't want to mess that tooth up.

I know I will probably have to call my dentist next week for an adjustment. But was wondering what is normal with a flipper.

Thanks so much!
