Oh boy...not very good news. I was able to get in to see the dentist this morning and this just kind of sucks.

Apparently the last tooth in my bridge (next to the eye tooth...tooth 12) is infected and now needs to be pulled. Fantastic.

So the plan is to cut my current bridge (the temporary) in between the two front middle teeth and leave it in place on teeth 6-8. Then a new bridge will be created for 9-13 and they will pull 12. I just cannot seem to catch a break...but these are just the unfortunate consequences of years of neglect and health problems.

So for now I am on antibiotics and have been given hydrocodone. That's supposed to relieve the pain until I can get in to get this new work done...which unfortunately won't be for several weeks. I've got to try and arrange my schedule to make it work...hopefully sooner rather than later.

This will make 7 teeth pulled this year...seems like a lot...
