GMarie,

What a crappy start to your day! But you did get some good news..... so it wasn't all bad

I know it's a PITA .... If the area changes at all for the worse, don't hesitate to go back and see him. If this is just an irritation then it should get better with each day.

Are you brushing and flossing all of your teeth and still rinsing with warm salt water? Are you rinsing with anything else?

I imagined this would be his response, and had to get up at 6:30 to see him. I even tripped over the pet gate and banged my face into the wall before going. So, my upper gum was cut and swollen. Thank goodness my teeth didn't get chipped or broken. That would have been really bad and terribly untimely!!
Thanks Bryanna...GMarie
