Extensive Gum Reconstruction

One week today! Today I feel so much better after having a rough weekend. Thank God, they were able to see the problem and address it. I was advised today that they did extensive gum reconstruction and subsequently have developed an ulcer in the roof of my mouth. They made adjustments to my top bridge and I feel considerably better and prescribed a mouth wash to help heal the wound and soothe the pain. They agreed that my top arch is too small, made several adjustments and will make a new bridge in 6 weeks. These changes made a big difference and provided me some much needed relief. I am so glad I listened to gut and insisted something was off and I am back on the road back to myself.
Thank you all for your support here it helps so much!!

    1. Nikki R. minor adjustments made a major difference! So grateful, hope your doing well!

      1. I’m doing well thank you . Saw my dentist for my weekly check in. He’s taking stitches out next week and showing me how to clean my teeth with a water pick and special floss.
        Still got a few sore bits on my mouth, brushing is still tender too, but each day is better than the previous.
        Hardly taking pain meds now, I think by end of the week I will have dropped them altogether.
        My dentist says once your into week 3 everything gets way better . So I should feel much better about everything then it’s not long before we can think about designing my perms 🙂..

    1. Marian S.
      What’s arnica cream … I know you said it’s for bruising..
      and where can u get it

    2. Marian S. I got some yesterday at local health food store I have applied it twice now so hopefully it will start improving! Thank for telling me about it.

    1. Pat B. I wasn’t aware they did till today and he explained that he had to really move the gum more than he anticipated and had to basically graph it. This extra cutting and sutures caused the ulcer to form. He prescribed magic mouth wash the pharmacist had to make for me, one dose was huge relief. Out of all the surgery areas this ulcer by far is the most painful. Hopefully on my way up now♥️

    2. Pat B. no I was given one fee from start to finish regardless what needed to be done.

Our Story

Dental Country was born out of a simple yet profound idea: to bridge the gap between dental professionals and the public by providing an all-encompassing platform for dental knowledge. Founded in 2013 by Dr. Sean Myran, a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine, Dental Country started as a response to the growing need for a reliable and comprehensive online resource where both dental professionals and everyday people could find trustworthy, accurate, and well-researched information about dentistry and oral health.

Dr. Myran had witnessed first-hand the complexities faced by dental professionals, from managing successful practices to staying up-to-date with the latest dental technology and products. At the same time, he noticed how challenging it was for patients to find accurate, digestible information about dental procedures, oral hygiene products, and how to choose the right dentist. This dual perspective inspired him to create Dental Country, an online space that could cater to both audiences.

What started as a small blog quickly grew into a multifaceted platform with a wide range of dental resources—from practice management tips to in-depth product reviews and educational articles on oral health. Over the years, Dental Country has expanded its offerings to meet the evolving needs of dental professionals and patients alike. Today, it is one of the most trusted names in dental content, recognized for its dedication to quality, transparency, and accessibility.
