Thanks, Stilly! The extraction has begun healing nicely and although tender is not hurting much. The Mexican dentist is extraordinarily competent and meticulous, and very thoughtful, and always chooses to do the right thing. He made me a little plastic plate with a temp tooth on it to put in my mouth for show. Eventually we shall have a sturdy implant and a new bridge in the gap. Meanwhile I look like a moonshiner on payday when I smile.
