Mine are healing after my surgery three weeks ago. I'd always heard that your mouth recovers faster than anything on/in your body, but after my last extraction, I didn't believe it. After a crown failure, I had what was left of a tooth extracted. Only, the dentist left some silver behind, remnant of an old root canal. So when the bridge/crown next to it broke, the root had to be extracted and the oral surgeon went after that piece of silver, too.
It didn't hurt half as much (or even a quarter) as I thought it would, and unlike the last time I had a tooth out, this guy put in four stitches. They nearly drove me nuts, but they came out last week.
But a funny thing happened. In the week since the stitches came out, the crater has started to fill in. There's no big void. It's still kind of sunken, like a ... well ... sink hole, but it really is healing like mad.
I feel hopeful.
Anything got you feeling hopeful?
