Ms. Que BanhHere, I go.
#Dentist #MaskUp #CovidIsNotOver
#AltText - me in front of dentist office, with personal air filtration unit. Going in for final dental extractions.
#ImmediateDentures are now in!
I can't feel most of my face. Am really woozy. Unable to talk & am communicating by hand signals for now. Mouth is quite bloody inside & I'm keeping it closed for rest of day, except for when doing saltwater & antiseptic rinses, taking meds & when eating soft foods. Got some ice packs ready to put on both sides of my face to help keep swelling down. Hopefully, won't have too many blood clots in early days of recovery - it's normal to get a couple, for major extractions.
Denturist appointment is tomorrow morning, follow up & dentures adjustments.

Forgot to upload the #bilingual post op care info sheet from Wednesday's final #dental extractions.
I was given slightly different verbal instructions from my dentist before leaving the office. Had to do 1 gentle saltwater swishy rinse, immediately after coming home - just to stop the excessive bleeding. It didn't affect my gums forming good bloodclots, which is an essential part of healing up.
My #dentist is #Chinese. The office is a team of 3 brothers. They're all getting old now. My dentist & his older brother will be retiring in 2-3 years. The youngest dentist brother will also retire shortly after & office will be closed after several decades, at same location.
All info sheets they give to their patients have #ChineseTranslations, with the English instructions. This is because many of their older & also some newer to Canada #ChinesePatients are illiterate in English.
