Have had a terrible nasty loose tooth for some time, and bless the hygienist has tried to look after, but then WHAM, ATE SOMETHING HUGE PAIN, JUST DREADFUL that was a couple of days ago, At dentist to day, my tooth has to come out, as the bone in my gums is subsiding only dud to smoking, so may be they can do a implant, but not sure if there is enough bone left, it's right at the front.
So if your trying quit this could be you in a few years time, just keep going with your quit. You won't regret it.
