An Authentic Portuguese Lady

BAM!  Scary right!  Well, it's over with and now I have to deal with having one REAL front tooth.  I do have a denture for the missing space.  And no Helena, I will not use a Chicklet gum in its place.  Although that would be entertaining for others, but not me.  haha.  You would think I could bear pain well with having three c-sections, but wow, yesterday was miserable.  I had my hands in prayer mode the entire time.

Why did I chose to get a denture instead of another alternative, well, the other alternatives could have resulted in yet another infection down the road.  I read the studies on root canals.  My front tooth has been dead since I was twelve years old.  It allows bacteria to be harbored, which could lead to a serious illness down the road.  So I contacted the Iowa "Dr. Oz" on this, and he recommended a denture.

I have a lot of dental anxiety and hate sounds.  Well, who would like those sounds, right?   Now Jordan will be returning to him to remove three mercury fillings.  If you have mercury fillings (they look silver), they can cause a multitude of health problems.

I guess I look more Portuguese now.  Where's my head covering, walking sticks, and sheep?
