    i've had 3 teeth extracted (not all next to each other) and i didn't bother with crowns cos they were molars. the only problem i have is if i'm eating hazelnuts, the nut may get stuck in the gap and i have to pull it out with my fingers!

    Lol scaredy, think that'll happen to me. But I'm not eating on that side cos nothing is allowed in whilst it's healing, and I don't want another abscess and to be called Mrs Potato Head again.

    And I need to shower and get ready for tonight, me and Pint are going to his brother's birthday and of course it's going out for a meal so god knows what I'll wear or what I'll eat.

    I hope so scaredy...but at least it means I have more chance of losing more weight in a few days stuck eating on one side of my mouth....

    Am pondering clothes. Do I go for the jeans and corset look....or the skirt and corset or the skirt and stockings and shirt look

    You may notice that the wisdom tooth starts to 'drift' forward now. Keep the extraction site clean but try not to disturb the clot by vigorous rinsing, sticking your tongue or finger into the hole and if it begins to get very painful go back to the dentist because it may be a dry socket.

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.
