All I Want for Christmas is...

All I want for Christmas is... my back molar tooth, my back molar tooth, my back molar tooth!!  Oh wait, I GOT IT! :)  I started this whole process back in March and had my second surgery in July.  In the end, it took 17 appointments, 2 surgeries, I won't even tell you how much money, and 9 months of only chewing on the right side of my mouth but I FINALLY have a tooth!

I took pictures of the whole process.  It might be gross to some of you, but I think it is pretty cool so here they are...

The tooth that hurt so bad, I wanted to rip it out...



















Swollen, stitch-filled, toothless mouth...



















Phillips Screw after surgery #2...



















New porcelain tooth.  It felt so weird to have a tooth
again and my left chewing muscles are quite weak,
but it's a tooth!  YAY!
