thanks bryanna, all my stitches dissolved. at my 2 week post op, i was told that i can start brushing over the extraction site too. is this okay? i was never told that before.

also, i still have a little jaw discomfort/tenderness around the bottom of my jaw, and i really can't open my mouth 'WIDE" so it's sometimes hard to see if i do have anything stuck in the sockets.

how long does this last for? at what point should i be concerned if the jaw discomfort doesn't go away? it's been 16 days. i think some of it might be my fault for trying to iopen my mouth wide to look at the sockets all the time...
