Crazy Embarassing Question

YIKES! I think I may take it out before going on a thrill ride! I just won't smile or talk to anybody!

I can speak to the difference in grafting. My mom just had it done. Cadaver bone takes better than artifical graft, and there is less chance of rejection. If there is any question at all about healing (you are a smoker, had healing problems in the past, low blood counts, ect) or it is just a complicated graft they will often suggest cadaver over artifical becuase ti heals faster and the risk of rejection is lower.

I am diabetic...That could be a reason...or bone loss?

Oooh, now this is something I have experience with.

Take them out, and stick them in a safe velcro pocket (or something) when you're riding. As well as worrying about the motion of the ride, you're also going to have to worry about not opening your mouth while on the ride. It may sound easy, but it's totally not.

We're amusement park people, and go to a lot of parks. I had an ongoing year of mouth surgery and three sets of temps. Why did I have three sets of temps? Because one of them is at the bottom of a flume ride pool in Rye, New York, and another is at the bottom of a wave pool.

Take 'em out before you ride, if you can, and slip 'em back in when you get off. You'll be surprised at how no one will even notice.

Dental issues group hug!

You all are too funny! I think slipping them out before going on the ride is a good idea....I just hope I don't drop the Flipper while taking it out!
