JG,

No pain on the top with the packing out is a good sign. If that site stays quiet... great ... if it should start to hurt, then it's not a good sign.

So he packed the lowers again today and wants to leave that packing in for another week?? I would question if it's "ideal" to leave that packing in for that length of time. Is he doing that for convenience of less appointments on his part and yours? How did the sites feel when he removed the packing? What is he instructing you to rinse with?

If I'm not feeling any pain what is the chance I would have any of these complications ? How will I know if any of these things happen to the top site?

Thank you!!!
JG
