Bone Graft on Left Lower Baby Tooth

WORTH IT$5,000
I have 2 baby teeth left but one has no tooth replacement bottom left (incisors I believe )and the other is sideways in my gum line on my bottom right side .. my left baby tooth broke and is actually rioting so it needs to come out and replaced w an implant .. so I started the process .. I unfortunately need a bone graft first due to a nerve that runs through that area and some loss of bone .. the bone will come from a donor ( kind freaks me out but it’s clean and safe ) I’m very anxious and everything I’ve read so far just throbbing and no real pain .. at least I pray for me .. I did come on here as usual to calm my nerves and share my experience from beginning to the end .. the baby tooth on my right side is still hanging in so it will be next year before I start the implant process which will be more work due to the adult tooth laying hortizonal in my gum line .. as far Dr Laggan he answered all my concerns and told me about the whole process and what to expect .. i will be knocked out for the 30 min process due to my anxiety .. easier to sleep and wake up done .. everyone in his office was sweet and had no problems ... for reference Dr. Laggan is not a dentist he’s an oral surgeon I would never recommend anyone to use a dentist for this procedure following an implant .. too many complications can occur from my research..

So my procedure went good so far.. I paid put the extra money to be knocked out and ask for the longest numbing to hold off any pain .. numbing wore off late Wed night .. I haven’t taken any meds for the pain and throbbing but I’m caving in for an alieve tonight 1030pm (Thursday ).. just been on liquids .. eating lots of applesauce (no sugar added ) and straight up protein shakes .. made some golden winter soup to eat too throughout the next few days .. I don’t work so I’ve been just icing today and watching movies .. no gym for at least 7 days which is really hard for me .. Check up on Monday w Dr Laggan

Pic of the 2nd day after procedure(lower left) .. baby tooth removed , bone graft in and stitched up .. throbbing and pain but not to unbearable but enough for me to take ..my jaw is sore to touch on left side but I’m assuming it’s due to inflammation from the procedure
