Tooth Gone

Fractured tooth was pulled yesterday and the dentist did some bone grafting so I could get an implant in the future. The area was throbbing yesterday and the Tylenol 3 didn't seem to ease the pain, but it is much better today. I just took regular Tylenol. My jaw and cheek have a little swelling so back to the ice pack.  I see him tomorrow morning so he can check on it. Then it is a long waiting period to see if the grafting takes hold before he implants a rod. My regular dentist will add a tooth to the rod later. Yesterday I just ate Jello and yogurt, today I'm going to try more solid food, but soft.
