Thanks again, Bryanna! I went in on Thursday to see my dentist just to make sure it looks okay. He said everything's good - I told him it hurt to bite - he adjusted the bite (ground down the tooth in front of #19 that I said was tender) and it has changed my life. So much better. As a person with lots of anxiety, you are an incredible resource - thank you!!

I have one more question. I was just brushing my teeth and looked very closely at the spot. There's a sharp white thing poking just outside of the spot where my tooth was extracted. What the heck is that?!?! If I were 7, I would say a tooth was growing in. I'm not. So what is it??

Any advice would be appreciated before I start freaking out.

Thank you!!
