well..

I got 3 removed. top left (1) and top right (1) - both were molars.

then, I had a cavity on the lower left (the main chewing tooth I guess.. and I got that taken out. so now, It's really funny feeling on when I chew in that side. I'm kinda saddened.

anyways.. on my left side.. my gums.. after the surgery, my surgeon told me I would more then likely have sores, etc.. so, I do.. and now rinsing with hot water and salt.. but, tomorrow, I go in.. and he just does a follow up. all my stitches came out by themselves. so far, in all my dental.. cost me about $1600 outta pocket. *sigh*
