The Day After

To my great surprise, Dr Steve called me today to see how I was doing. I can think of only one other time where a Doctor called me the day after a procedure. That Doc was a dentist as well.

Anyway, we talked for a while and I asked him to describe the procedure he performed.

He told me he got down into my gums and really cleaned and disinfected the area. He also used cadaver bone to rebuild the damage to my jawbone/tooth. Then he gathered up more gum and refilled the area. 

This procedure cost about $2,500.00 and my insurance is covering all but $390.00 of it. Plus, I had to buy some prescription drugs, including Hydrocodone which I only took one of.
