So tomorrow I am having the tooth extracted, without any bone grafting.
The bone grafting was to build the bone for the implant.
I don't think ? It is critical to have the bone grafting otherwise ??
I have been trying to research this, but just don't know about the bone grafting..
If anyone knows about this please let me know. Thank you

Now I am into day 3 after the extraction.
I see the oral surgeon next week. He will want to schedule me for the bone grafting, so on 3 or 4 months he can put an implant in there.
He showed me how thick an implant is, so they will have to drill through bone to get it in !! Yikes! With RSD really ?
Anyone know about this ???
