Getting new tooth!!

I went to the dentist today and got fitted for my new crown. After almost one year, I will finally have a crown where there has been no tooth. I had to have a root canal done twice on a tooth and ended up having it extracted anyway. What a pain it has been---literally. I am tired of having work done on my mouth. Right now, I have a metal post poking up in my mouth and it looks and feels really strange. I have never had a dental implant before and this has been quite the learning experience. I am sure that it will be worth all the bother when it is all finished. But for two weeks, my tongue is just going to keep playing with that metal post in my mouth. Can't wait to get my new tooth--well--- crown anyway. Hope this lasts forever.
