Dear Lori, Thank you, for all of your information !!!!
Things seem to be going well. I don't see any indication of thrush ( at least I don't see any white patches), I am following your wonderful advice ! I am still concerned about all of the bleeding, when I brush my teeth. It is tempting to just avoid the top four teeth all together since that is where the bleeding is coming from. I have an appointment with the dentist on Tuesday to have some fillings on my lower teeth and to move forward with the timeline to have the remaining upper teeth extracted. You have been so wonderful about sending me the questions that I should ask before each appointment. What do you think I should ask, and know for sure before I move on to the oral surgeon ? The dentist I see on this coming Tuesday is the dentist who is "making" the denture. He said that he would be discussing my situation with the oral surgeon before I see him on Tuesday, so I certainly want to know the outcome of that discussion.
Thank you, Holly

Good morning, Holly! Your dental appointment tomorrow should be informative about your upcoming extractions and denture. Listen to what he has to say first, then it will be easier to think of questions you may want to ask. He may answer most things in his consultation with you on Tuesday. Take notes or have him print a copy of his treatment plan so you have it. But certainly don’t hesitate to ask him questions at that appointment. ☺️
About those 4 remaining teeth. Please keep on brushing and taking care of them as well. Since there’s bleeding around the gum tissue that indicates inflammation or infection. So keeping them as clean as possible, even though they’re destined for removal is still important. I can’t help but think you’ll feel some health improvement when they’re gone…they’re a chronic source of inflammation for you right now.
Happy to hear the thrush is gone. Keep up the good work and let me know what you find out tomorrow. Sending a hug, Lori.
