Well the news today wasn't too too good.. They didn't have the stuff they needed so I have to go back tomorrow so that they can work on me. Tomorrow they are going to have to use one of those needle things and give me a shot in my gum to numb my mouth. Then they have to work on me and wrap some sort of wire around my four front teeth in order to keep the bad one from falling out. They said they couldn't tell me much today because it takes a few days after the trauma to know about what type of long-term damage it entails. So tomorrow I go in and have the work done and then in two-three weeks I have to go back. They also found something on the x-ray that wasn't too good. It could either be because of the initial trauma and it can heal, or it could be nerve damage. If it's nerve damage I will have to have the tooth pulled and they will have to screw a new one in. I would still have to go a while without a tooth until it healed enough to do that. If it isn't nerve damage then I will just have to have it capped which shouldn't cost more than $600. So I am praying that it will heal. As long as there isn't any nerve or long-term damage the tooth SHOULD tighten and heal up where it won't be loose anymore. But we will see.. Only time will tell.. Wish me luck tomorrow and I will post tomorrow after what happens.
