My periodontal sergery!

Hey, everyone! It's been awhile since I've written on our blog, so bare with me! So, some of you have probably already heard, I had sergery yesterday on my teeth! My Doctor was Dr. Todd (DDS)! He was amazing! I was very impressed with him! Anyway, this surgery took place yesterday! When I got there, I paid my fee! It was $631.00! Which, came from handing out coupon books! Then, I signed in! After waiting for a few minutes, they sent me back! When I got back there, they had me sign some paperwork! When, Dr. Todd came back, he explained what he was going to be doing! Then, they started the surgery by giving me shots to numb my mouth! He put some topical in my mouth so I wouldn't feel the shots! I only felt one of the shots! It only hurt for one second, though! I didn't like it! Then, he showed me the tool he would be using on me! It was sharp! I don't mind having my mouth numbed, but seeing the tools that they're using on my mouth is something that really freaks me out! Anyway, he also numbed the roof of my mouth! Then, he cut some tissue from the roof of my mouth and put it on the recession! Then, he sewed it up with 4 stitches! I didn't like that part very much! After the surgery was over, he gave me some gauze and a tool to clean in between my teeth! Then, he gave the lecture of what I'm not supposed to eat! I can't remember what else he talked about! I have to only eat soft foods! I'm going to have feel some discomfort for the next day or so, but I can eat normal food after 4-6 days! I don't know how long it take for my mouth to heal, but once it's healed those two spots should turn pink! The tissue that they took from the roof of my mouth is white because it no longer has any blood flowing to it! That spot on the roof of my mouth and the recession will turn pink when they're both healed up! When my mouth heals up I will probably have a couple scars! After the surgery, my mouth felt like somebody had punched it really hard, though! Anyway, my friend, Cammy Allen, was there with me, so that made it a lot better for her to be there! She is amazing! I love her! I'm glad she was there with me and not my husband, Randy Hale, because he would've not liked to see me bleed! I bled a lot during my surgery, but not too much! I'm surprised Cammy didn't pass out at the sight of the all the blood I lost! She is quite a trooper to endure that! I nearly passed out, though! So, yeah, that's my periodontal (Graft) surgery in a nut shell! I hate having my teeth worked on, so hopefully I won't have my teeth worked on for awhile because my mouth has been through a lot for the past 5 years! That's another story though! Anyway, thanks for taking the time to read this story and I promise I will update my blog a little better! Love, Brianna Hale
