He's got some nerve!!!

October 9, 2009

Catchy title huh?  Yesterday in the clinic I didn't have as many cases - I had more complex ones.  I got a great picture of the inferior alveolar nerve (nerve that runs through your lower jaw) while taking out a wisdom tooth.

In total yesterday I had done 8 extractions (2 patients), 1 second molar root canal, and a check up on the patient that had had his front tooth totally knocked out (we reimplanted it).  It looks better every time I see it.  Last time he had had some deep pocketing around the tooth - this time that was gone.  The tooth is still slightly loose - so we will look at it again in 6 weeks to decide how to proceed.
