One week ago I started this process and things are going well. Its slightly annoying having this barbell in my mouth. I still have a little pain and eating is tricky. The white grossness of my tongue is almost all gone as you can see in the photo (there is a little in the back). I'm horrible at swishing with Listerine. I just drink some water and call it done (sorry Tom:)) Lately it seems so ITCHY!! The under side especially. I have 75% of the natural movement of my tongue back. I still cannot lick my back teeth, or fully lick my lips. Every morning when I wake up I feel like I have some sore taste buds on the edges of my tongue. I think I may keep pressure on it while I sleep or something, but I'm not grinding my teeth so thats a good thing.
Other than all that I'm happy with my decision to start this entire process.
Just make sure you're keeping it clean. That's the most important part. I really cant wait to watch this happen.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tom! I am keeping it clean for sure! A tongue infection sounds completely awful and disgusting. ;)
