[Trombone-l] New student and dental issues

[Paul Johnston]

I had mine taken out in college on Christmas break also in the mumbles,
mumbles.  I remember having the teeth taken out on Monday, stitches out on
Friday morning and I think I started facetime on the horn that evening or
at least Saturday for sure.

I think I would have the student double check with the oral surgeon or
dentist (whomever does the extraction) to make sure.
