Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Well at the moment I have another chunk of hamburger in my splint that is lodged, a black cerry piece from my blizzard, and probably a carrot piece or noodle lurking for lunch so what do I do?? This is a daily occurance but luckily every other day I get the old food out and a new piece in. LOL I make the " k " sound and it pushes air into the splint shooting particles out...hee hee no I'm serious and I fill my mouth with water and spew it out the top of my mouth and it also has been a good way to shoot things out. I have this little toothbrush that is shaped like a pick and it fits in my splint and works a little. Just keep rinsing, and it will dislodge!

Guest guest Posted April 8, 2005 Report Share Posted April 8, 2005 Ok my yahoo changed again on replying so if this looks funny sorry. So youre already eating hamburgers? Im going to Mexico next month and I'm really worried about going down there and not being able to eat the food. I'll be about 8 weeks post op. Youre 6 weeks right? So I should be able to enjoy the cuisine down there? > > > > Well I was really scared about how my teeth have been fitting into my > > splint.
