Please reassure me that this implant pain will be worth it!
I had a back left implant put in yesterday morning. It was a 2 hour long painful process (I have a small mouth which made it difficult, and it’s an area already had a lot of follow up feckery, from all 4 wisdom teeth growing into my jaw bone and being removed a few years ago). I’m holding cold compresses to it and surviving off naproxen and paracetamol, and there are times when it’s not too bad, but I’m getting so exhausted with the flare ups of pain. Please give me inspiration that, once I get the actual tooth on in a few months, all this pain will be worth it! Chewing wasn’t too hard before but I knew in the long term, it was better to fill it, and the top one had just started to drop slightly so I’ve done it in good time. I’ve probably made the right decision (bit late to take it back) but would love to hear positive ‘it’s worth it’ light at the end of the tunnel tales. Thank you.
