160901 -    1.  Repairing tooth #2 is reported on 090220. ref SDS 21 FQ5G  At
160902 -        that time on 090220, Christi advised that Russ would review the
160903 -        chart, and call to discuss scope and price.
160905 -         ..
160906 -    2.  On 090223 Russ called from Steve Olsen's office, to follow up
160907 -        the request for proposal on 090220. ref SDS 21 F066
160909 -         ..
160910 -        Russel indicated tooth #2 would require an implant, and this
160911 -        would cost about $5K to accomplish. ref SDS 22 VY7W  Christi
160912 -        called back and scheduled an initial meeting on 080306.  Russ
160913 -        will spend an hour to clean the teeth, and take some xrays.
160914 -        The Periodonist will make an examination for 30 minutes.
160916 -         ..
160917 -        For this 1.5 hours of work, and xrays, the Olsen office will
160918 -        charge $500. ref SDS 22 9Z7I
160920 -         ..

160925 -    3.  On 090223 called Richard.  He indicated that tooth #2 often
160926 -        does not require implant repair.  He usually orders only an
160927 -        extraction. ref SDS 23 JW9O  Richard suggested calling his
160928 -        dentist in Danville, David Graham.  Richard went to dental
160929 -        school with David, and has very high regard for his work,
160930 -        especially because Doctor Graham continued to teach dentistry
160931 -        at the UC Dental College in San Francisco, while also running
160932 -        his own practice in Danville.
160934 -         ..

160941 -        recommended doing extraction only on tooth #2, ref SDS 24 H68W,
160942 -        took xrays for referral to Doctor Keith in Walnut Creek.
160943 -        ref SDS 24 RQ9N  Analysis of xrays seems to indicate extraction
160944 -        does not risk eruption of tooth #31. ref SDS 24 0326

410407 - Initial discussion with Russell indicated that the crown on tooth #31
410408 - would not be expected to prevent #31 from extruding into the space
410409 - created by removing tooth #2.  He noted that a tooth does not "know"
410410 - it has a crown.  Since tooth #2 has been significantly diminished for
410411 - several years, and since tooth #31 shows no signs of displacement,
410412 - this could indicate support for Doctor Graham's analysis on 090302.
410413 - ref SDS 24 0326   Russ reported observing today signs of some contact
410414 - between tooth #2 and #31.  This observation, though difficult to
410415 - accomplish, may account for normal containment of tooth #31.  Loss of

BM0466 -        a.  Bleeding
BM0467 -
BM0468 -            Some bleeding may occur for the first few hours after the
BM0469 -            opertion.  This is not unusual.  If bleeding seems profuse,
BM0470 -            apply firm pressure to the bleeding site for 20 minutes
BM0471 -            using either damp gause or a wet tea bag.  Repeat if

BM0475 -             ..
BM0476 -        b.  Medication
BM0477 -
BM0478 -            Begin taking your pain medication before the anesthetic
BM0479 -            wears off.  If you have been given a prescription for
BM0480 -            Iburprofen (Motrin), continue taking it even if there is no
BM0481 -            pain.  If you have been given an antibiotic, you must
BM0482 -            finish it as prescribed; discontinue only if alergies
BM0483 -            symptoms (itching, rash, swelling) ensue.
BM0485 -             ..
BM0486 -        c.  Swelling
BM0487 -
BM0488 -            In some cases, swellingis to be expected.  This can be
BM0489 -            minimized by the applicatoin of cold packs (ten minutes at
BM0490 -            a time) and by lying with your head elevated.  If swelling
BM0491 -            does not subside and is accompaneid by fever, call your
BM0492 -            student dentist.
BM0494 -             ..
BM0495 -        d.  Home Care
BM0496 -
BM0497 -            The cleaner yo keep the surgical site, the faster and more
BM0498 -            comfortably it will heal.  If you have been given a
BM0499 -            prescription for a mouth rinse, ref SDS 0 ZM4M, you must
BM0500 -            use it.  Avoid vigorous rinsing/swishing, but rather hold
BM0501 -            the rinse in your mought bathing the surgical site for 30
BM0502 -            seconds to a minute.  The other parts of your mouth should
BM0503 -            be brushed as normal.  after one week try to gently brush
BM0504 -            the surgical site with a soft toothbrush; bleeding may
BM0505 -            occur and is normal.  Brush your tongue for additional
BM0506 -            comfort and freshness.

BM0513 -        e.  Eating
BM0514 -
BM0515 -            Good nutrition is very important following surgery.  Follow
BM0516 -            your regular diet avoiding foods that are hard/sharp or
BM0517 -            hot/spicy.  Try to get adequate protein from foods such as
BM0518 -            eggs, fish, milk/yogurt, or protein shakes.  Try to
BM0519 -            increase your intake of fluids to aid in healing.
