Brianna,
I made a mistake when I said the hole was 5 mm. It is actually 30mm x 15mm. Isn't that a little big for a regular dentist to take care of? The tooth came out in pieces. I would have thought that at the time of the extraction (#2 and #3) she should have referred me to a oral surgeon or stopped in the middle of the extraction when she saw she was having trouble. I was told that normally an oral surgeon would have stretched skin from the buckle and covered the hole. Here it is more than 4 months and my new dentist/oral surgeon is having a difficult time getting it closed. Thanks.
Mary
