hello bryanna.I am new to this,but see your the resident dentist.Can you please tell me if you know what sclerosing osteitis is.I was told that it was an inflammation/infection of jaw bone.However upon seeing the consultant,he said its 'dry socket'.The x ray he took,and the MRI seem to be at loggerheads with each other.This equals one patient still in pain with no answer.Many thanks in advance.B.
