I showed up for a 2:30 p.m. appointment, and was given a local anesthetic…

At 3:10 p.m. I left the Dentist’s office, and drove myself home…

After the local anesthetic was given to me, I felt NOTHING of all three extractions… NOTHING…. He pulled my upper right first, followed by my upper left, and then my lower left…

He struggled for a brief time with my lower left, but it came out as expected….

At 4:00 p.m., I followed instructions, and stopped using gauze.

From 4:30 to 6:00 p.m., I spent the time outside, mowing the lawn with my wife.

At 6:00 p.m., I took two vicadins (which were prescribed), to ensure that as the “local anesthetic” wore down, I had some pain killer in action….

I still did not feel any pain at all.

At 12:00 a.m. I took two more Vicadin’s, just before bed, to ensure that I would not have pain during the night…

I woke up the next morning, pain free… and did not take any more Vicadin’s or any other pain killers of any type…

It’s been two weeks now, and still no pain… only on occasion when I drink a very cold liquid.

Otherwise, the holes are now slowly shrinking… and I rarely get any food caught in them… the lower left is the exception.. I have to keep checking and cleaning it…

Brushing, and Listerine mouthwash are no problems at this point…

Total cost to me for the etractions was $240.00 – insurance paid the rest…

I’m so glad that this is over with…
