Disappointment Appointment! Can I scream now?

[Guest guest]

I'm 18 days post-op, and had an appointment today with my surgeon. Two of

my teeth are officially damaged from the surgery, and now because of this, I

will have to get root canals and crowns on said teeth. In addition, after being

esticless for 3 days, I was banded again today. I am majorly bummed about

this, and today is only the second of my recovery when my spirits are down.

Things have got to get better...

Jayar,

I'm so sorry to hear about your disappointing appointment. Yes,

scream if you need to - but be careful not to hurt yourself.

Things will get better ... believe it.

Hang in there,

Jayar,

Didn't your ortho or dentist let you know that this was a possible

complication of the upper jaw surgery? My dentist told me to expect at

least one root canal as a result. I'm sorry to hear that you'll have

two. but just remember, you'll get past this hurtle too.

I have never heard this, has anyone else heard this? Just wondering

why this would happen?

Jayar, that sucks!

Steph, is this a risk for lower surgery, too? I'm scared!

I was warned about one or more of my teeth breaking but not root

canals. However, if you think about it, when they move your jaw or

both jaws there is a lot of movement and stuff going on inside your

mouth and nerves can be affected so it comes as no surprise that some

unwanted side effects to the teeth can occur. Luckily they sound like

the sort of thing that can be easily sorted at the dentists and

nothing to really worry about although Jayar I'm sure that if I find

out the same thing when I go see my OD tomorrow I'll scream too, Oh

well, at the end of the day we have a better bite. What's a tooth or

two, right? Also, maybe they decided to put the bands back on just to

be safe. You weren't in them for very long after all. I know it's

frustrating but hold on tight just a little longer. You'll get there

soon!

Hi there,

Yeah, I knew it was a possibility, but they said it was not likely

to happen. My surgeon told me it was the first case in his 17 years

of these surgeries. The teeth affected are on the bottom... both of

the bottom eye teeth. I will get over it, but sigh. Another chunk

of change to shell out.

Thanks for the support, Steph.

It's not common as far as I've heard, for upper surgery. I believe

it's more common to have tooth problems when widening the upper

palate since the surgeon is cutting between the teeth rather than

simply above the gum line.

I had no problems at all, other than the fact that my teeth were

more sensitive post-op. That did go away in time.
