 |
|
Hi
Last Monday I had the unpleasant surprise to being told by my dentist that I have to have one molar removed, and later be replaced by an implant.
It's been since then that I have quite somepain and discomfort.
Didn't try to play yet but how long is this gonna last ?
Furthermore I feel the gap it creates in the oral cavity . Hope this wont lead to playing issues....
All the best

| i had a back molar done, #18. I was playing a few days after it was pulled, no problem. just recently, after 3 months, I had the post put in. Easier, and I was playing 2 days later, minimal discomfort. |

Lucky you.
I still am in pain, weird noises in the area when blowing and some ' pain ' going up the Eustachian thing....
Gotta wait some I think
All the best

"Been there ... done that".
I suggest you take a break from playing. What I did. Did not affect my playing the horn, as I learned afterward.

Have you asked your dentist? I had some dental work recently and the dentist provided advice, do's and don'ts. |

Still painful but less.
Dentiste said the molar and its roots were very deep (?) and that the sinuses might be exposed and thus the ' pressure ' can have a painful impact.
Curiously,the gap created by the removal of the tooth is having my tongue wondering where to settle in the mouth. The channeling of the air is different, like I have to seal (?) differently.
I guess I can use this situation to experiement/try to understand how it works 
Thanks |

Follow up ( for those interested )
Extracted tooth's roots were so deep that the ' hole ' was connected with the sinus.
Air/liquids... were going through.
Was operated yesterday ( gum sliced and ' glued ' somewhat ).
Another week of waiting for the healing
Been 1 month I havent played
Turned off 2 gigs and have 2 more coming in the coming weeks I have to cancel .
I sure am eager to play again

You should be able to play again soon, but don't rush it - healing takes time, but the results are worth it.
good luck!

I've had toothache for a long time, but because I'm pregnant, the doctor didn't recommend tooth extraction, so I've been enduring the pain.  |
