Freaking out

isabella 100
WORTH IT$15,000
Today , I started bleeding a bit at the base of temporary teeth place over implants. It slowly getting more and more irritated and swollen. This morning, I ask the dentist and he think it from removing the suture 2 days ago. But it not getting better , I am not touching it , it swollen, red and painful. I am freaking out, terrified that I am developing a infection. I have so many years of bad experience with my teeths that I am paranoid about something happening this time. I already had to go back because of the allergic reaction to the dentures. I think I will go to a local dentist tomorrow if I can. Or just go on antibiotics to be sure.

In the meantime, lots of saltwater rinses. if you have peroxide, make rinses out of that. I wouldn’t want to be on antibiotics unless there’s an infection. They are so hard on our bodies especially those used for dental problems.If it’s just food irritation, it’ll start to feel better by tomorrow.

Thank you, it’s a ready clearing up . That the only down side of traveling. You worry and can’t just pop inn . But where I live you can’t get those type of work done .

Hello Isabella! Greetings from Texas, USA. How lucky you are to live in such a paradise! I hope you are doing better now. How long before you go back for your permanent fittings?

I am going back to Colombia in 3 weeks for the definitive work . Looking forward to it. I am very used to the teeths in my mouth right now. But i went from terrified of dentist to totally okay going to Colombia back to Dr Uribe . I will also do a PPr and some hyaluronic acid at alocal dermatologist .

I just had much similar work at Los Algodones just across the border in Mexico by Yuma AZ. If you go to the link molarcity.com you can see the many dentists there. I had 24 crowns, bone grafts, extractions and implants. Highly recommend. My husband had 4 implants and crowns as well. We fly from ND and have saved thousands of $.

I assume Molar City. I am thinking about going myself. Who was the dentist? AND how much was your husband's portion?
December 5, 2018
Thanks for the Molarcity link. From their website I see they have a consortium of dentists feeding through that website as the first contact. Which Dentist did you and your husband use? For others info, the website lists a pricelist that most of the affliliated dentists use. When you use Google as a search, the website will be featured on the right side of page. You can follow the comments/reviews & some people give the name of the clinic or dentist they used.

Great dentist.

isabella 100
The inplant saga is not a easy one for me. I had a allergie reaction to the temporary dentures in my upper . Turn out , I am allergic to acrylic on contact. I went back to Cali and my dentist DR Uribe build something with composite,minimal touches, it attaches to my teeths and it look pretty good for something I only need to wear 4 months. I really believe it would be difficult to find a better dentist. He made time at 8 am the day after I landed and again late afternoon the day after to put in the new teeths . The level of care and attention from Cristina and him is great. Everything is done to make it as confortable and pain free as humanly possible. Cristina is also great at arranging transport,hotel and everything you may need. I would recommend them to anyone, actually I already recommended them to some friends.

Pain

isabella 100
Today is 7 days ago that the procedure was done. And it hurt, like a lot. I know know if that’s a normal part of healing. Most references are about most pain at 2/3 day mark. But I woken up crying from the pain last night. I do know I have always had very sensitive teeth and my mouth is a high pain area for me. I think 7 extraction, one bone graft and 10 implants are bound to hurt a lot longer then 3 days. I am still on antibiotics and see no sign of infection. The pain is also pretty diffuse, it’s not one particular inplants that hurt, it’s all of my teeth and gum. My dentist is in Cali, 2 plane flight away....I will send him a message later to ask him. I feel it not abnormal to have that pain but most reviews and dr talk about this 2/3 days pains and then steady improvement. Not the case here
