Ashley,

When do you see her for another post op check?

Generally the sutures (even self dissolving ones) can be removed 7-10 days post op one extraction.

If they are causing you a lot of irritation and discomfort, then see her for the removal of them.

Hope things are now fine with Ashley. I'm now staring down the removal of 3 root canal teeth (by preference ofcourse, I haven't seen any major problems with my health - except strange skin rashes and issues that simply have not cause - I eat organic, use mostly organic products)
Bryanna is a tooth fairy/angel for so many here...she is giving just the right advice. Now because of her, I know what questions to ask the dentist (there are absolutely no biological dentists here in Bangalore, India). I have to make do with a regular dentist...
I only hope that removal of the teeth does not create a bone socket or whatever and weaken the jaw bone (ofcourse homeo medicines like like plantago Major, Kreosotum, Calc Carb, Calc Flour will hopefully take care of this)
I would be so happy if you can spare few seconds of your time and respond with an one liner Bryanna...that will give me invisible courage :)
I'm also planning to learn Reiki to improve my overall health and ability/strength to overcome the issues of missing teeth !

AH2015,

Thank you again for the kind words ~'.'~
Good to hear that you eat organically. This will help so much during the healing phase of the extractions. The homeopathic Arnica is also helpful with surgery healing.

Regarding the extractions.... seek an oral surgeon if not a holistic dentist. Any time a tooth is extracted, there going to be a large hole or socket in the bone where the tooth use to be. This hole/socket will eventually fill in to some degree with jaw bone and the gum tissue will close over. You will have some degree of bone loss after the site heals, that is normal. Are the teeth all in a row or scattered throughout your mouth? Are you missing other teeth? How is the health of your mouth and other teeth?

Thank You so much Bryanna, I was about to conclude that I'm not lucky enough to recieve a response from you (I created a new thread seeking your advice)

You are right I will aim for a holistic dentist and preferable the one who has Cavitat (sonic imagery) ...
Tooth 1: Lower left molar next to the wisdom teeth (partly emerged wisdom teeth)
Tooth 2: Lower right molar next but one to the wisdom teeth (yet to emerge wisdom teeth)
Tooth 3: Upper right molar next but one to the wisdom teeth (this wisdom teeth is extracted)
Few other teeth has composite filling in them...that is it. Other than the 2 upper wisdom teeth that are removed, I dont have any missing teeth till now...
I believe I'm doing good...with the grace of homeopathy, organic food etc. Most of my teeth problems started after I got my first amalgam filling - the same tooth later became bad and got a root canal by the age of 17 or so - from then on it has been downhill...I'm now determined to put a stop...

I hope I can manage with nesbit for my upper molar and nothing at all for lower ones (hope some of these gaps will be filled by my wisdom teeth)
