Temporary Teeth

TEMPORARY

Here are my temporary teeth - the 6 front teeth you can see on top. Took them one hour to take off my old bridges and grind 4 of my real teeth to stubs. Then one hour of impressions and fitting these temporary teeth. I'll go back in just over a week to get my permanent teeth put in. I was a bit put off when I got into the chair and saw the long needle ready to freeze me ... and 4 more viles next to it. One thing I found funny: instead of saying "Open" the dentists said "Ah" (as in, "Say Ah") Took me a couple seconds to figure out what they wanted. They knew "Close" ... why didn't they know "open"?
