Tomorrow I go in to Tufts Dental School to have a dental implant installed.

For over a year now, I've been running around with a removable false upper incisor. Tomorrow is the first step in the process of having a permanent restoration installed. Should be interesting.

At some point I'll blog about the pros and cons of going to Tufts Dental School over going to a regular dentist. For now I'll just say it's been an education for me, as well as for the students who have been working with me.

(krlisue and I have been bonding over this; she's ahead of me in the process and it's been helpful being able to talk with her about her experiences. Thanks!)

Good luck! I'm curious to hear how it goes. I went to the UNH dental hygiene school free clinic for cleaning in college, due to not having dental insurance. It was interesting- not something I'd recommend to someone who doesn't have a lot of time on their hands, because they had me come back several times to finish it, but it was SO educational (and they even gave me free x-rays of my extra wisdom tooth!)

Thanks! I'll definitely let you know how it goes.
